  Candid and keenly observed, I found it laugh-out-loud funny in several places, there's a sharp, knowing level of satire throughout the book, combined with weary cynicism, and some of the scrapes and exchanges are comedy gold. Spurious Scrapper is a fast-moving and grimly hilarious novel that takes the reader into a wretched subterranean world that is as appalling as it is compelling. Highly recommended. - Rose Auburn  
  Fans of Trainspotting by Danny Boyle will surely enjoy this book. A must-read for those who are not afraid to dive into the darker side of life. - Stuart Brkn Johns  
  Trigger warnings - drug and alcohol use, homophobia, violence, sex, self-harm, talk of sexual assault and abuse, torture.

  Shalash the Iraqi

  Shalash, Kanan Makiya

  Populated by a cast of imagined con artists, holy fools, drag queens, and partisans—as well as some very factual politicians, priests, and generals—this novel started life as a pseudonymous blog written "live" by "Shalash" during and after the Second Iraq War. Shalash the Iraqi is here presented in its first authorized translation, with the blessing and commentary of "Shalash" himself. 
   
   
   
  The second US invasion of Iraq began in the spring of 2003. By the autumn of 2005, though the Saddam Hussein regime had reached its bloody end, ordinary Iraqis were seeing little improvement in their daily lives. Their country was "free," but to many it seemed free mainly to become a mire of sectarian violence, corruption, confusion, and fear. In the midst of this turmoil, a hero arose—or, rather, a jester. In a country where electricity was only intermittently available, a series of blog posts began to appear at a soon-to-be-defunct website and took Baghdad by storm. Individual entries were printed out and passed around for months, until the pages were nearly shredded. Where neither computers nor printers were available, the posts were retold aloud, then passed along at second- and third-hand. What could inspire such devotion? Signed "Shalash the Iraqi," the posts proved to be nothing less than portions of a madcap serial novel thumbing its nose at Iraq's new normal.

  Two men, two opposing worldviews, and one inescapable duel that will shake the foundations of modern thought. 
  When Evan MacIan, an intensely devout Catholic Highlander, smashes the shop window of James Turnbull, a fiercely principled atheist editor, a spark is struck that sets a dormant London ablaze. Both men believe entirely in their ideals, and both agree on one scandalous remedy: they must fight to the death. But the modern world cannot tolerate their earnest devotion to absolute truth. Hunted by an exasperated police force and sensationalized by a gossiping press, the sworn enemies are forced into an absurd, desperate alliance. Fleeing through city streets and quiet countrysides to finish their holy war, MacIan and Turnbull engage in a breathtaking duel of wits—only to discover that true intellectual enemies might just become the closest of friends. 
  Why you will love this: This classic work of Philosophical Fiction is a brilliant fusion of high-stakes action, allegorical depth, and razor-sharp wit. Fans of profound philosophical fiction and ideological thrillers will be captivated by Chesterton’s mastery of the paradox, exploring the eternal battle between reason and faith. It is an adventurous, satirical romp that challenges the mind while wildly entertaining the soul. 
  About the Author: G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936) was a prolific English writer, theologian, and philosopher affectionately known as the 'prince of paradox.' Renowned for his ingenious apologetics and beloved creations like the Father Brown mysteries, Chesterton's vivid prose and intellectual daring continue to inspire readers worldwide.
