Paperback. Zustand: Good. This "splendidly satirical novel" by the award-winning Pakistani author "beautifully captures the absurdity and folly of war and its ineluctable impact" (Booklist, starred review). An American pilot crash lands in the desert and finds himself on the outskirts of the very camp he was supposed to bomb. After days spent wandering and hallucinating from dehydration, Major Ellie is rescued by one of the camp's residents, a teenager named Momo, whose money-making schemes are failing while his family falls apart. His older brother left for his first day of work at an American base and never returned; his parents are at each other's throats; his dog is having a very bad day; and a well-meaning aid worker has shown up wanting to research him for her book on the Teenage Muslim Mind. To escape the madness, Momo sets out to search for his brother, and hopes his new Western acquaintances might be able to help find him. But as the truth of Ali's whereabouts begin to unfold, the effects of American "aid" on this war-torn country are revealed to be increasingly pernicious. In Red Birds, acclaimed author Mohammed Hanif reveals critical truths about the state of the world with his trademark wit and keen eye for absurdity.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - - An intelligent, dark, and provocative satire of politics and society for fans of vivid, voice-driven, and often darkly humorous international writing like that of Aravind Adiga, Salman Rushdie, Gary Shteyngart, and Sayed Kashua.- Red Birds received early praise received from Pankaj Mishra, who picked it as one of the best books of 2018 for the Guardian, calling it 'a fresh marvel.' Hanif's work also garnered praise from John le Carré, Mark Haddon, and Mohsin Hamid and his writing writing has been compared to that of Salman Rushdie, Joseph Heller, and Raymond Chandler.- Bloomsbury UK will publish their edition of Red Birds this October. - Hanif is a regularly contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and was the subject of a 2016 profile in The New Yorker.- Splitting his time between Berlin and Karachi, Hanif is very active in the arts communities in the US, Europe and South Asia. He has written the libretto for an opera called Bhutto, commissioned by the Lyric Theater in Illinois for premiere with the Pittsburgh Opera in 2019. He has also written for the stage and screen, including a BBC radio play, What Now, Now That We Are Dead - Hanif's debut novel, A Case of Exploding Mangoes (Knopf, 2008) was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Novel. His second novel, Our Lady of Alice Bhatti, was shortlisted for the Wellcome Trust Book Prize and the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature.- Hanif's previously novels were widely and positively reviewed by The New York Times, The Guardian, the Washington Post, Financial Times, and the New Republic and more. We expect the same review coverage for Red Birds.…
