A Case Of Exploding Mangoes
Mohammed HanifMohammed Hanif’s dark political satire about love, betrayal, tyranny, family - and a lethal conspiracy trying its damnedest to happen.
Ali Shigri is on a mission to avenge his father’s suspicious death, which the government is calling a suicide. Ali’s target is none other than General Zia ul-Haq, dictator of Pakistan. Enlisting a rag-tag group of conspirators, including his cologne-soaked roommate, a hash-smoking American and a mango-besotted crow, Ali sets his elaborate plan in motion. There’s only one problem: the line of would-be Zia assassins is longer than he could have possibly known.
"A sure-footed, inventive debut that deftly undercuts its moral rage with comedy and deepens its comedy with moral rage...The novel has less in common with the sober literature of fact than it does with Latin American magical realism (especially novels about mythic dictators such as Gabriel García Márquez’s Autumn of the Patriarch) and absurdist military comedy (like Joseph Heller’s Catch-22). Hanif adopts a playful, exuberant voice, as competing theories and assassination plots are ingeniously combined and overlaid." – Kirkus Reviews
Mohammed Hanif's journalism brought him to London, where he became head of the BBC’s Urdu service before moving back to Pakistan. A Case of Exploding Mangoes was his first novel, and he has gone on to write three more novels, as well as two plays and a screenplay about Karachi.
