Mohammed Hanif: Rebel English Academy

Reading

Pakistan is in a state of emergency. Sabiha has a gun and flees a murder charge when she takes refuge at Sir Baghi’s language school and discovers a passion for writing. Captain Gul, meanwhile, is confronted with an illegitimate child and rebellious protesters. Mohammed Hanif is among the writers redefining contemporary Pakistani fiction. «One of South Asia’s most unnervingly funny and subversive voices» (The Guardian).

The Curator in Residence Program is made possible by the LOTTO-Stiftung Berlin.
