Case Of Exploding Mangoes
Case Of Exploding Mangoes
**LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE**
''Exuberant and satirical: this is an angry comedy about Zia''s brutal legacy to Pakistan'' Observer
There is an old saying that when lovers fall out, a plane goes down. This is the story of one such plane.
Why did a Hercules C130, the world''s sturdiest plane, carrying Pakistan''s military dictator General Zia ul Haq, go down on 17 August, 1988? Was it because of:
1.Mechanical failure
2.Human error
3.The CIA''s impatience
4.A blind woman''s curse
5.Generals not happy with their pension plans
6.The mango season
Or could it be your narrator, Ali Shigri?
A Case of Exploding Mangoes is sharp, dark, inventive and utterly gripping.
