Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida-war photographer, gambler, and closet
queen-has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office.
His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira Lake and he has
no idea who killed him. In a country where scores are settled by
death squads, suicide bombers, and hired goons, the list of
suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with
grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife,
time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to contact the
man and woman he loves most and lead them to the photos that will
rock Sri Lanka. Ten years after his prize-winning novel Chinaman
established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Shehan
Karunatilaka is back with a "thrilling satire" (Economist) and
rip-roaring state-of-the-nation epic that offers equal parts
mordant wit and disturbing, profound truths.
