Sri-Lankan author Shehan Karunatilaka bags Booker Prize 2022 for his magnum opus ‘The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
‘The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida’, which came ten years after Karunatilaka’s prize-winning novel ‘Chinaman: The Legend of Pradeep Mathew’, was praised by judges for the “ambition of its scope and the hilarious audacity of its narrative techniques.”
Damon Glut, last year’s Booker Prize winner presented the author with 50,000 pounds in prize money.
Karunatilaka, who is also a noted journalist and advertising professional, is the second Booker winner of Sri-Lankan descent, after Michael Ondaatje, who took the trophy in 1992 for The English Patient.
