An inventory of the General Security headquarters in central Baghdad reveals an obscure manuscript. Written by a young man in detention, the prose moves from prison life, to adolescent memories, to frightening hallucinations, and what emerges is a portrait of life in Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

In the tradition of Kafka's The Trial or Orwell's 1984, I'jaam offers insight into life under an oppressive political regime and how that oppression works. This is a stunning debut by a major young Iraqi writer-in-exile.

Sinan Antoon has been published in leading international journals and has co-directed About Baghdad, an acclaimed documentary about Iraq under US occupation.

read the fine print
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I really need to learn to read the small print. That pocket line on the chest turned out to be a fake pocket and the actual; zipper on the sleeve is also a fake pocket; my bad but in my defense I'd never dreamed that anyone would put either on a shirt. Also my search term was men's "cotton shirt w/ pocket shirt" and it brought up this polyester wonder. But at least it fits well and seems well made.

High‑style look that feels way more expensive than it is.
Size: X-Large, Color: Orange
Okay, let’s talk about this shirt because I was not expecting to love it as much as I do. The Men’s Long Sleeve Polo Shirt with the quarter‑zip is giving premium designer energy without the designer price tag. From the moment I put it on, the fit was chef’s kiss—slim, clean, and athletic without feeling tight. The fabric has that smooth, high‑end feel you usually only get from brands that make your wallet cry. But here? You’re getting elevated style at a totally reasonable price.

Magnificent fabric
Color: Pink, Size: Medium, Color: Pink, Size: Medium
A beautiful sweater—exactly like the one in the photo. The fabric is stretchy and of very good quality; it is perfect for a casual occasion where you also want to look practical. It pairs very well with shorts.
