Description
A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR'A thrilling, razor-sharp critique of US foreign policy â?▌ Red Birds is an incisive, unsparing critique of war and of Americaâ?Ts role in the destruction of the Middle East. It combines modern and ancient farcical traditions in thrilling way' Guardian________________American pilot Major Ellie has crashed his plane in the middle of a desert. Lucky for him thereâ?Ts room for him at the very refugee camp he was supposed to bomb. Teenage Momo doesnâ?Tt see it that way: the camp is a trap, not a refuge. His brotherâ?Ts missing, his parents are in a rage, and an aid worker wonâ?Tt stop trying to interview him for her book on the Teenage Muslim Mind. Savage, irreverent and deliciously dark, Red Birds is a masterful unravelling of intertwined fates in a forgotten war-scape â?" and a brilliant satire about satire about the absurdity of war and the impossibility of peace. 'Funny, dark, compassionate and angry' Daily Telegraph'The funniest tragedy I've read in years' Hanif Kureishi'A blistering, savage, tragicomic satire about the cruelty of war and the impossibility of peace' The Times
