Summary:

This book is the first work comparing Margaret Drabble with key Iraqi novelists. It analyses physical and soft violence in Drabble's novels and the works of four Iraqi contemporary novelists, including Ahmed Saadawi's Frankenstein in Baghdad (2013). The book argues that physical and soft violence are interwoven and interconnected, meaning that, where there is physical violence, there is nearly always soft violence and, though to a lesser extent, vice versa. Thus, soft violence can cause just as much damage, psychologically or literally, as hard violence.
