Brought to you by Penguin.
Discover the blazing debut novel from the Booker Prize winning author.
Where is Pradeep S. Mathew - spin bowler extraordinaire and 'the greatest cricketer to walk the earth'?
Retired sportswriter W. G. Karunasena is dying, and he wants to know.
W. G. will spend his final months drinking arrack, making his wife unhappy, ignoring his son and tracking down the mysterious Pradeep. On his quest he will also uncover a coach with six fingers, a secret bunker below a famous stadium, a Tamil Tiger warlord, and startling truths about Sri Lanka, cricket and himself.
Winner of the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature
©2011 Shehan Karunatilaka (P)2023 Penguin AudioReseñas de la Crítica
"The strength of the book lies in its energy, its mixture of humour and heartwrenching emotion, its twisting narrative, its playful use of cricketing facts and characters, and its occasional blazing anger about what Sri Lanka has done to itself..." (Kamila Shamsie)
"A crazy ambidextrous delight." (Michael Ondaatje)
"Bristling with energy and confidence." (Sunday Times)

Very realistic writing. Googled a lot while reading the book. That itself speaks volumes about the quality of the writing

True Masterpiece
Having spent much time on the island, this book is a perfect group of characters you know, love, loathe, and are. A read for any fan of sports, anyone that has been blessed in the Lankan sun, or anyone that enjoys realistic dialogue and a great story.
It’s the Dan Brown of cricket
