Winner of the 2022 Booker Prize, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is a blistering satire set against the chaos of Sri Lankaβs civil war.
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida war photographer, gambler, and closeted queen wakes up dead in what looks like a celestial visa office. His mutilated body sinks beneath the waters of Beira Lake, and he has no idea who killed him. In a land where death squads, suicide bombers, and hired thugs settle scores, the suspect list is endless. Ghosts with grudges gather around him, whispering accusations.
But even in the afterlife, time is short. Maali has just seven moons to reach the man and woman he loves most and guide them to a cache of photographs that could shake the nation to its core.
A decade after his award-winning Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lankaβs boldest voices, Shehan Karunatilaka returns with a darkly funny, furious, and profound state-of-the-nation epic one that skewers violence with satire and stares unflinchingly into the soul of a country haunted by war.
