Hanif Wins Commonwealth Prize

Mohammed Hanif of Pakistan wins Best First Book for A CASE OF EXPLODING MANGOES.

'Standing out in a strong field, this riveting debut novel makes Mohammed Hanif Pakistan's first winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. A tour de force, this fast-paced political intrigue merges fact and fiction to provide a startling interrogation of dictatorship, religious fundamentalism and abuse of power. A trenchant satire, tender and funny, it will long live on in readers' minds.'
