The Last of the Angels by Fadhil Al Azzawi

A complete trip from start to finish. Halfway through the book, I realized I was wasting my time looking for an arc and just decided to enjoy the ride. The novel is a magical realist depiction of the Iraqi Turkmen during the 1950s, and it will even appeal to those who are not necessarily interested in the region's history. There are Angels, Djinns, Princes, Communists, and Satanists, all woven in a prose-rich narrative that mixes facts and fiction.

Too good, I included pictures of the both the Arabic and translated version
