Reef

Gunesekera's short story collection Monkfish Moon--a New York Times Notable Book of 1993--quickly established him as a leading literary voice. Reef, his first novel, tells the powerful and moving story of a young Sri Lankan houseboy who is so caught up in trying to please his master that he is oblivious to the larger world as it spirals out of control. "An enchanting, endlessly funny and affecting novel".--San Francisco Chronicle. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
