What an incredible work of art.
A tale of the afterlife as colorful and dark as the world that inspired it, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is a story that's in questions with the mysteries of life itself in the face of horrific atrocity.
The human capability to be the cruelest and kindness things in existence.
As we follow Maali shortly after his death the book tackles some of the heaviest themes imaginable, but Karunatilaka's writing allows us to take it all in, to ponder of it, to be horrified, to laugh, to shake our heads in disappointment, shame, and wonder.

I don't think I'm ever going to forget this book, not unless I end up with dementia in my old age, I feel in parts that it was written for me. Im going to sit with this one much longer. And end this review here.
