**NELLA LONGLIST PER IL BOOKER PRIZE** 'Esuberante e satirica: questa è una commedia arrabbiata sulla brutale eredità di Zia al Pakistan' Observer C'è un vecchio detto che dice che quando gli amanti litigano, un aereo precipita. Questa è la storia di uno di questi aerei. Perché un Hercules C130, l'aereo più robusto del mondo, che trasportava il dittatore militare pakistano, il generale Zia ul Haq, è precipitato il 17 agosto 1988? È stato a causa di: 1. Guasto meccanico 2. Errore umano 3. Impazienza della CIA 4. La maledizione di una donna cieca 5. Generali non contenti dei loro piani pensionistici 6. La stagione dei mango O potrebbe essere il tuo narratore, Ali Shigri? A Case of Exploding Mangoes è tagliente, oscuro, creativo e assolutamente avvincente.
