A case of exploding mangoes ..




Hanif's books, a case of exploding mangoes is certainly a master piece. One of the best novels i have read from a pakistani author. The way he captures the last days of Zia and defines the scene around it is amazing. The best part is a two pager on the point when Sigri is being taken by the ISI cheif and the author explains the scene around him. He exactly captures the way Pakitan is , they way the people of Pakistan are. The ironic part is I have been reading the book during turmoil in Pakistan, with impeachment of president musharaf and the indepednece being celebreated today. Not much has changes since the time of zia, other then new channels and some fancy stuff..

Coming back to the author, hats of Hanif. I will be one eager reader waiting for your next master piece..

audios,
