| adam_text | There is an ancient saying that when lovers fall out, a
plane goes down. A Case of Exploding Mangoes 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?
Here are the facts:
A military dictator reads the Quran every morning as
if it is his daily horoscope.
Under Officer
Ali
Shigri carries a deadly message on
the tip of his sword.
His friend Obaid answers all life s questions with a
splash of
eau de
cologne and a quote from
Rilke.
A crow has crossed the Pakistani border illegally.
As young Shigri moves from a mosque hall to his
military barracks before ending up in a Mughal
dungeon, there are questions that haunt him: What
does it mean to betray someone and still love them?
How many names does Allah really have? Who killed
his father, Colonel Shigri? Who will kill his killers?
And where the hell has Obaid disappeared to?
Teasing, provocative, and very funny, Mohammed
Hanif s debut novel takes one of the subcontinent s
enduring mysteries and out of it spins a tale as rich
and colourful as a beggar s dream.
