At the Sydney Writers' Festival, author Mohammed Hanif discusses his award-winning novel A Case of Exploding Mangoes with Steven Gale. Deliciously anarchic, provocative and very funny, Hanif’s debut novel takes one of the subcontinent’s enduring mysteries and out if it spins a tale as rich and colourful as a beggar’s dream: 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?
