Synopsis
**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.

Etat : Fine. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken; Geknickte Ecken. Reimagines conspiracies and coincidences leading to the mysterious 1988 plane crash that killed Pakistan's dictator General Zia ul-Haq. Intrigue and subterfuge combine with misstep and luck in this darkly comic book about love, betrayal, tyranny, family, and a world unexpectedly resembling our own. Provocative, exuberant, wickedly clever. N° de réf. du vendeur 8d60829e-e9f5-4678-a6e0-b9e8c37e348b
