Status Updates From The Seven Moons of Maali Al...

First moon gone. Maali is getting familiar with the administrative hassle of the in-between of life and death and starts investigating his murder.

I read this as it won the Booker but it's a great way to get a glimpse of Sri Lanka's troubled history in the 80's and 90's. The premise of Maali revisiting places of his life as a ghost works surprisingly well thanks to the author's conception of the in-between.
