Wow, this book is just wow! Easily the book of the year for me. The interplay between the afterlife and the real world is a clever literary device that actually works. Filled with tons of references to actual historical events in Sri Lanka of the 80s- this book is a must read for anyone remotely interested in Sri Lanka and it’s politics. The author doesn’t spare anyone- the Lankan government, LTTE, JVP, foreign press, NGOs all seem like they are part of the problem. Love the authors’s literary style and the humour and satire in every line. A modern masterpiece!
