About the Author:
Shehan Karunatilaka has written advertisements, rock songs, travel stories, and basslines. Chinaman is his first novel.
Review:
"A crazy ambidextrous delight. A drunk and totally unreliable narrator runs alongside the reader insisting him or her into the great fictional possibilities of cricket." -- Michael Ondaatje "The best cricket novel I have ever read. Shehan's love for the game is matched by his flair for storytelling. As spell binding as an India-Pakistan one day match. I felt like shouting 'Howzat' on every other page. Ifyou love cricket read this, if you love novels read this and If you love both, you know this one is for you." -- Mohammed Hanif
