Sri Lankan Shehan Karunatilaka is the author of The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida. He says he started thinking about the book a decade ago, just as Sri Lanka was emerging from a 30-year civil war. Sri Lanka is in the midst of a severe economic crisis but Karunatilaka says his story is not a commentary on the situation today.
