Omschrijving
An epic, searing satire by Sri Lanka's coolest author.
Fizzes with energy, imagery and ideas against a broad, surreal vision of the Sri Lankan civil wars.
Recalls the mordant wit and surrealism of Nikolai Gogol's Dead Souls or Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita ... Karunatilaka has done artistic justice to a terrible period in his country's history
Brilliant ... rollicking ... a pleasure to read. Karunatilaka writes with tinder-dry wit and an unfaltering ear for prose cadences.
Outstanding ... the most significant work of Sri Lankan fiction in a decade
An exuberant whodunnit ...There can't be many novels that simultaneously bring to mind Agatha Christie, Salman Rushdie and John le Carré - but this one does
This magic realist (and often funny) novel fizzes with energy and ideas... Imagine a mash-up of Stranger Things and Salman Rushdie
Shehan Karunatilaka's epic novel is a powerful evocation of Sri Lanka's dark and brutal past
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is dazzling. Shehan Karunatilaka's use of Sri Lankan folk mythology is truly original ... human and non-human monsters equally terrify. And yet Karunatilaka's exuberant language and humour keeps this book buoyant and a joy to read
A brave and brilliantly inventive novel, full of energy, about a mad bad world in a dark time
Shehan Karunatilaka's narrative is breathtakingly kaleidoscopic
Audacious, original and perfectly formed
A roaring talent ...Throw yourself into the arms of this book, relish its wild phantasmagorical ride. It's the most worthy Booker winner for many years
Shehan Karunatilaka is the multi-award winning author of Chinaman: The Legend of Pradeep Mathew. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is his second novel. Born in Colombo, he studied in New Zealand and has lived and worked in London, Amsterdam and Singapore.
