Naphtalene: A Novel of Baghdad
Helene Cixous
?This first novel by an Iraqi woman to be published in English in the United States is a hallucinatory incantation?an ode to a city?(with) its private courtyards and public baths where the women in Huda?s life rage and pray and love and scream.??Ms. Magazine
Now in paperback, Naphtalene captures a fierce and defiant young girl as she struggles to form her identity in 1950s Baghdad amid a world of unfulfilled women and family tragedies.
