Waking the Tiger is a novel set in late-1950s Sri Lanka, a country
at the edge of a gathering storm of violence. Feinberg weaves a
complex story of the clash between cultures and castes, expats and
ex-colonials, Hindu swamis and Buddhist priests, politicians and
entrepeneurs, Sinhalese and Tamils, idealism and realism. Filled
with vivid accounts of local customs and locales, Waking the Tiger
sardonically describes the underbelly of an apparent paradise.
Feinberg lived in Sri Lanka with his family from 1957-1958, when he
was Fulbright lecturer in American Literature at the University of
Ceylon.
