Please join us to discuss the 2022 Booker Prize winner “The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida”, by Sri Lankan author Shehan Karunatilaka, a funny satire set in Sri Lanka’s civil war. 

Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems to be a celestial visa office. His 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 long.

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 the collection of photos that can change everything.
