Packed full of political commentary on civil war, governance, human violence and more, this may be fiction but it teaches readers a lot about Sri Lanka, the struggle for independence, and empathy. All while exploring a uniquely wacky world of the dead.
“Do not be afraid of demons; it is the living we should fear. Human horrors trump anything that Hollywood or the afterlife can conjure. Always remember this when you encounter a wild animal or stray spirit. They are not as dangerous as you.” P.335
“This must be where they allocate budgets for torturers, organise pension plans for abductors and approve home loans for assassins” p. 345
