مقتل بائع الكتب

A wealthy man who hides his identity sends the journalist Majid Baghdadi to Baqubah to produce a book on Mahmoud al-Marzouq, a murdered bookseller and painter of seventy. Through his friends, a notebook chronicling Baqubah since the occupation began, and letters to a French model from his years in Paris, a restless life comes into view, from politics in Iraq and Czechoslovakia to exile in France.
