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 Beira Lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time when scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts who cluster around him 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.  aAmerican English Fiction962893  2ddccBK  c225238d225238  00102ddc40708GENaALbALd2022-11-15eNavakarnataka Publications Pvt Ltd Mangaluru 575001g319.00l3o823.914 KARSp076222r2023-04-06 00:00:00s2023-03-29v399.00w2022-10-11yBK
