Reseñas en medios

 • "This young romance, like something out of an Edmund White novel, is beautifully and powerfully imagined. . . . Calling to mind the work of Indo-American writer Jhumpa Lahiri, Selvadurai does an excellent job contrasting Sri Lanka and Canada." --Winnipeg Free Press
 • "From his debut novel, 1994's Funny Boy, to his latest, The Hungry Ghosts, he's meditated on his birth country's fraught mélange of history, politics and religion while developing a style that's anything but bare bones and laconic." --National Post

Descripción:
"A novel of raw human longing. . . . his stripped-down prose focuses on the deeply personal with precision and insight. . . . Selvadurai's work reminds me that the contemporary novel doesn't necessarily have to resort to thrills or high jinks in order to find its usefulness. Here, it unforgettably explores the interplay between individual intention and the tragedy of a nation's history." --The Globe and Mail In Sri Lankan myth, a person who dies may be reborn a "hungry ghost" -a ghost with a large stomach that can never be filled through its tiny mouth--if he has desired too much during his life. It is the duty of the living to free the dead who are doomed to this fate by transferring karma from their own good deeds.
