Shihan Karunaca, a Sri Lankan author, is the author of the novel “The Sitts of His Excellency the Seven Mida,” which was awarded the Booker Prize for the International Novel’s top prize in 2022. Booker Prize Chairman Neil McGregor explained the advantages of this decision.
Nile McGregor stated that any author who made the short list deserves to win the Booker Award for the International Novel, but the rulers were particularly impressed with the ambition, levity, and narrative techniques found in Sri Lankan author Shihan Karunacla’s book “The Molea Mida The Seven,” which won the award.
The novel “The Sitts of His Excellency the Seven Mida” is comparable to a metaphysical suspense called Nawar for the Hereafter, which lifts the restrictions from not only different types but also from life, death, body, spirit, east and west, according to Sri Lankan author Shihan Karunaclak, who won the 2022 poker prize from Neil McGregor.
The head of the jury of the Booker Prize for the International Novel also saw that what distinguishes this novel is that it is a completely serious philosophical story that takes the reader to the “dark world of the world” – the horrors of the deadly civil war in Sri Lanka. Once there, the reader also finds kindness, attractiveness, love, loyalty, and the desire to realise the ideal that upholds all human life.
