Adapted from Iraqi writer Sinan Antoon’s award-winning novel, The Corpse Washer is a haunting portrait of a young man coming of age and a society’s fight for survival, in a country where life and death are inextricably intertwined. adapted for the stage by Ismail Khalidi and Naomi Wallace from the novel of the same name by Sinan Antoon The current study is an attempt to demonstrate how characters are represented in Sinan Antoon’s Self-translated novel ‘The Corpse Washer’. The study adopts a Critical Discourse AnalysisBut Antoon’s novel The Corpse Washer does so beautifully. Antoon possesses the ability to write from laid-bare, seemingly despicable perspectives, and so does Klay. In “Bodies,” the same smells and feelings of disgust haunt Klay’s narrator, a marine who works in a mortuary unit, as Jawad, the Iraqi corpse washer. Literature provides them with an avenue to reclaim the humanity of all those who have been traumatized by the violence represented by war. Drawing on the theory of trauma, the paper seeks to explore the notions of war trauma and violence in Sinan Antoon’s novel The Corpse Washer (2014) that reveals Iraq’s traumatic and violent history. | ||
