  "description": "**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.",
