Mission accomplished! Book club coalition forces have secured Zabibah and the King, a romance novel / political allegory / nauseating sexual violence exploitation work written by Saddam Hussein in the twilight of his tenure as Iraq’s notorious dictator.
This episode attempts to make sense of the book in the context of Saddam’s brutal reign, US disruption of the Middle East, and the necessary ingredients for a good romance. Plus: news and doings, dictator lit, Saddam’s blood Quran, a round of Name That Dictator, and other tangents.
