Review of “Rebel English Academy” by Mohammed Hanif – a sure-fire Booker contender

Mohammed Hanif's novel "Rebel English Academy" is reviewed by Yagnishsing Dawoor in The Guardian, highlighting its potential as a Booker contender. Hanif's works often explore troubling aspects of Pakistani history and politics with irreverence. His 2008 debut, "A Case of Exploding Mangoes," received a Booker longlisting and presents a comic portrayal of General Zia-ul-Haq before his suspicious plane crash in 1988.
