After days spent wandering and hallucinating from dehydration, Major Ellie is rescued by one of the camp's residents, a teenager named Momo, whose entrepreneurial money-making schemes are failing as his family is falling apart: His older brother, Ali, left for his first day of work at an American base and never returned; his parents are at each other's throats; his dog, Mutt, is having a very bad day; and an earthy-crunchy aid worker has shown up wanting to research him for her book on the Teenage Muslim Mind. Amidst the madness, Momo sets out to search for his brother Ali, hoping his new Western acquaintances might be able to help find him. But as the truth of Ali's whereabouts begin to unfold, the effects of American "aid" on this war-torn country are revealed to be increasingly pernicious. Written with his trademark wit and keen eye for absurdity, and revealing critical truths about the state of the world today, Red Birds shows master storyteller Mohammed Hanif at the height of his powers"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Air pilots $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Airplane crash survival $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Muslim teenagers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Humanitarian assistance $z United States $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Middle East $v Fiction. 941 $a 10 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015202.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409033204.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061522.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013628.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529015804.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200130012118.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190726010337.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190620010624.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190604034531.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190515010105.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B51EA09E76D611E99DDF21FB96128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
