THE FLYING MAN is the story of the ultimate immigrant from the
twice Orange Prize long-listed author Roopa Farooki. Meet Maqil -
also known as Mike, Mehmet, Mikhail and Miguel - a chancer and
charlatan. A criminally clever man who tells a good tale, trading
on his charm and good looks, reinventing himself with a new
identity and nationality in each successive country he makes his
home, abandoning wives and children and careers in the process.
He's a compulsive gambler - driven to lose at least as much as he
gains, in games of chance, and in life. A damaged man in search of
himself.
