Picador, 1999, 311 pages.
The conflict in Sri Lanka rages on, according to a recent Human Rights Watch report, with over 2,000 civilians killed during the month of January 2009 alone. This calls for the exhumation of Michael Ondaatje’s 1999 novel Anil’s Ghost. Nearly a decade old, the book remains relevant and shines for its clear depiction of human rights issues. The disjointed writing is the only impediment that prevents the novel from being required reading for any serious human rights advocate.
