Review
“The Corpse Washer is a remarkable achievement . . . a compact masterpiece, a taut, powerful and utterly absorbing tale that, with luck, will secure Antoon a wider, more international readership.”—The National (The National)
“Antoon gives us a remarkable novel that in 184 pages captures the experience of an Iraqi everyman who has lived through the war with Iran in the first half of the 1980s, the 1991 Gulf War over the Kuwaiti invasion, and then the 2003 war.”—Three Percent (Three Percent)
Longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2014. (Independent Foreign Fiction Prize Independent Foreign Fiction 2014-03-11)
Winner of the 2014 Arab American Book Award in the fiction category, given by the Arab American National Museum. (The Arab American National Museum Arab American Book Award 2014-06-05)
“Sinan Antoon’s self-translated (from Arabic) novel . . . is a book that comes bearing bittersweet gifts. The story can only be described as a tragedy of accumulated loss, but the language Antoon employs — simple, direct, fiercely poetic — is an affirmation of life and culture.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune (Minneapolis Star Tribune)
“A powerful and important novel of the Iraq War, and a necessary counterpoint to American stories focused almost exclusively on the suffering and trauma of Iraq’s occupiers . . . Sinan Antoon’s The Corpse Washer offers a moving literary elegy not only for the numberless Iraqi dead, but also for those who remain to bury them. It must be read.”—The Kenyon Review (The Kenyon Review)
“The strength of the novel is its rendering of a complex and human narrative of war and violence. Readers gain emotional attachment to characters and can relate to their everyday problems and the way that they are affected by war. Jawad’s story is one of deep sadness, chaos and confusion. The constant changes in time, the disconnected snippets of Jawad’s life, the constant loss and disappearance of characters and the haunting dream sequences make Jawad a very real character and his experiences understandable. The Corpse Washer is a powerful companion for anyone trying to understand the drama of post-2003 Iraq or of war in general.”—Kevin Alexander Davis, Warscapes (Kevin Alexander Davis Warscapes)
"It is not surprising to find contemporary Iraqi writers responding, like others before them in countries fated to prolonged periods of extreme stress, with a mix of black humor and gloomily whimsical fantasy . . . Not much of such work . . . has come into English. One fine exception is The Corpse Washer, ably translated by the author himself, Sinan Antoon, a New York-based Iraqi poet."—Max Rodenbeck, New York Review of Books (Mark Rodenbeck New York Review of Books)
Winner of the 2014 Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation. (The Banipal Trust for Arab Literature)

The Corpse washer... The Pomegranate Alone... It is what it is! We all are Jodi!
By Amir Al Shammari
The Corpse washer, this novel of Sinan Antoon that it is translated from its Arabic version titled “The Pomegranate Alone” by him too to English, and as I read it couple of times and now having it in English, the same feelings that struck my high walls of isolation and demolished them to appear naked as the reality is naked, bitter and painful!
Reading and absorbing the main character in this novel “Jawad or Jodi" let me think, and to believing this story is not fiction, I felt him, lived his questions, transformed myself to this character, and after I finished the reading, I was naked again, felt of huge emptiness, indeed I just want to go back between the words to find myself, yes it is sorrow, fear, and pain but whenever I read any chapter, I feel I am standing next to Jodi, as his close friend that he will never die and will never leave him alone!
This novel, the corpse washer is a must to read, if you want to see Iraq and get the picture from another corner, this novel will help you, and it is highly recommended!

love from the first page!!
By sawsen alameri
Although I am no longer a novel reader as I used to be when I was younger but this book was an exception! I bought it when I heard the author in an interview on NPR and I was impressed by the dialogue and felt compelled to order the book and read it. I am an iraqi teacher who left Iraq right after the first Gulf war just like the author and I lived and witnessed most of the events in the story!! However, you don't need to be Iraqi to appreciate the novel because it is a master piece beyond description. I was quite taken by the book for days and weeks!
I highly recommend it.

a brilliant, lyrical piece of prose.
By kathryn coughlin
An astonishingly beautifully written novel about life during post-Saddam Iraq at the height of sectarian violence. Eloquently captures the devolution of civil society into "us" and "them."
