About this book
Colombo, 1989: war photographer Maali Almeida awakens dead, missing both his body and the explanation for his murder. Given seven moons to set matters right, he navigates a crowded, darkly comic afterlife while his friends and lovers search the living city for the photographs he left behind. Against the violence and political corruption of Sri Lanka’s civil war, the novel moves through a teeming cast of spirits, officials, activists, and grieving survivors. It is mordant, inventive, furious, and unexpectedly tender without softening its darkness.
