Description: Two Indian immigrants fall from an airplane and land in England. One has an easy time navigating his new life in London while the other has a schizophrenic breakdown and believes he is the archangel Gibreel. Satirical, symbolic, and transgressive, this postmodern novel about the identity crisis of an Indian immigrant is not as wicked as unsympathetic Muslims would have you believe, but it is wickedly funny if you have a sense of humor.
