About this listen
Critic Reviews
“Shyam Selvadurai has brought back from his Sri Lankan childhood a glittering and wise novel. Funny Boy keeps repeating with quiet conviction that the human condition can, in spite of everything, be joyful. You are not alone, it says to the reader I understand you. I was there. I remember.”
–Alberto Manguel
“He spins a subtle web that holds readers captive.”
–Saskatoon StarPhoenix
“A powerful and beautifully written novel.”
–Literary Review (U.K.)
“Lyrical, moving, and deeply perceptive. This isn’t the first coming-of-age story ever written, but I doubt there’s been one quite like it.”
