LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2022 A searing satire set amid the
murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war Colombo, 1990.
Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, 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. At a time 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 try and contact the
man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of
photos that will rock Sri Lanka. Ten years after his prizewinning
novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost
authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of
mordant wit and disturbing truths.
