All literature lovers
-To share the joys of reading fiction.
-To discuss and exchange ideas on Shehan Karunatilaka’s The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, his narrative techniques, his recurrent themes and his fictional universe.
-To build strategies that will enable the participants to take an active role in the exploration of multiple readings of the novel.
Set in Sri Lanka in the turbulent 1980s, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida centers on a dead photographer who is given a week (“seven moons”) to solve the mystery of his own death. During this time, he travels between the afterlife and the real world, trying to recover a set of photographs that expose the atrocities of the Sri Lankan Civil War and might have been the cause of his untimely death. Mixing political satire, magic realism and crime fiction, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida offers a stark picture of Sri Lanka’s bloody past and an exploration of our very human desire for love, empathy and redemption.
