Description
Red Birds by Mohammed Hanif is a razor-sharp critique of war and US foreign policy. When American pilot Major Ellie crashes his plane in the desert, he finds himself at a refugee camp that was meant to be bombed. For the teenager Momo, however, the camp is a trap - his brother is missing, his parents are angry, and an aid worker won't stop trying to interview him for her book. This darkly comedic novel combines modern and ancient traditions in a thrilling way, exposing the absurdity of war and the impossibility of peace. With its savage, irreverent tone, Red Birds is a masterful unravelling of intertwined fates in a forgotten war-scape. A blistering satire about the cruelty of war, Red Birds is both funny and compassionate, yet ultimately angry at the state of the world.
