Through an illegal journey of twocharacters in Iraq, this book presents a new literary approach of the sectarian conflictthat tears apart the country. Intertextuality with the Italian novel The Cloven Viscount(1952), by Italo Calvino, works as a connecting thread in the story. The complex Iraqiidentity and the conflicts that are related to it are depicted as the result of both thecountry’s geographical position and its history. The first part of the article focuses onthe spatial configuration in the story and the way the concept of borders is used todefine the Iraqi identity. The latter is also the object of the second part that attempts todiscuss the close relationship that the novel suggests between the body of the martyrand the homeland.
