A review by louissb
A Case of Exploding Mangoes by Mohammed Hanif

4.0

A wrily satirical story about Pakistan's leaders around the end of the Cold War, this was very entertaining (and perhaps informative, although difficult to know how much is fact and how much fiction). Hanif carries off deadpan satire brilliantly, and has an interesting technique of drip feeding information, particularly with regard to the main character's intentions.
