Born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Shyam Selvadurai moved to Toronto, Canada with his mixed Tamil\/Sinhalese family following the race riots of 1983. He has a B.F.A. in theatre directing and playwriting from York University, and an MFA in creative writing from the University of British Columbia. Selvadurai worked as a scriptwriter for television before focusing on writing short stories, novels, and essays. Funny Boy<\/em> was a best seller in Canada. His second novel Cinnamon Gardens<\/em> is set in colonial Ceylon in the 1920s. He resides in Toronto and Sri Lanka and remains active in the pursuit of social justice. Selvadurai’s short story “The Demoness Kali” that was first published in the August 2006 issue of Toronto Life<\/em> won the Gold Prize in the Fiction Category of the 30th National Magazine Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selvadurai wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Funny Boy<\/em> along with Deepa Mehta who also directed the film. His new novel Mansion of the Moon<\/em>, a historical novel about the Buddha\u2019s wife, will be released by Knopf in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (Toronto, M&S, 1998)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lush and beautiful, this story of intertwined lives vividly evokes the gracious world of 1920’s Ceylon (Sri Lanka) among the upper classes of Colombo’s wealthy suburb, Cinnamon Gardens, during a period when the power of colonial rule is shifting. \u2026 Selvadurai’s sensual descriptions and keen insights into the workings of the heart take us behind the fragrant gardens and polished surfaces of the elite to reveal a world of splintered families, conflicted passions, and lives destroyed by class hatred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (McClelland and Stewart, 1994)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Funny Boy<\/em> is the remarkable literary debut of Shyam Selvadurai. Set in Sri Lanka, it is a haunting novel, told in six beautifully rendered stories, about a boy growing up within an extended upper-middle-class Tamil family in Colombo, during the seven years leading up to the 1983 riots. Selvadurai subtly juxtaposes a boy’s passage to adolescence and maturity with the upheavals of growing political unrest. The result is a novel about discovery and leavetaking, while time and time again the true longings of the human heart come up against the way things are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hungry Ghosts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toronto: Doubleday Canada, 2013.
PS8587 .E58 H85 2013<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In Buddhist myth, the dead may be reborn as “hungry ghosts”\u2014spirits with stomach so large they can never be full\u2014if they have desired too much during their lives. It is the duty of the living relatives to free those doomed to this fate by doing kind deeds and creating good karma. In Shyam Selvadurai\u2019s sweeping new novel, his first in more than a decade, he creates an unforgettable ghost, a powerful Sri Lankan matriarch whose wily ways, insatiable longing for land, houses, money and control, and tragic blindness to the human needs of those around her parallels the volatile political situation of her war-torn country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The novel centres around Shivan Rassiah, the beloved grandson, who is of mixed Tamil and Sinhalese lineage, and who also\u2014to his grandmother\u2019s dismay\u2014grows from beautiful boy to striking gay man. As the novel opens in the present day, Shivan, now living in Canada, is preparing to travel back to Colombo, Sri Lanka, to rescue his elderly and ailing grandmother, to remove her from the home\u2014now fallen into disrepair\u2014that is her pride, and bring her to Toronto to live our her final days. But throughout the night and into the early morning hours of his departure, Shivan grapples with his own insatiable hunger and is haunted by unrelenting ghosts of his own creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n


In this sweeping story, at once epic and startlingly intimate, Shyam Selvadurai introduces us to Siddhartha Gautama, otherwise known as the Buddha, a promising and politically astute young man settling into his life as a newlywed to Yasodhara, a young woman of great intelligence and spirit. The novel traces their early life together, and then the unthinkable turmoil as Siddhartha\u2019s spiritual calling takes over and their partnership slowly, inexorably crumbles. How does a woman live in ancient India if her husband abandons her? Even a well-born woman with a revered husband? And what path might she towards enlightenment herself? Selvadurai examines these questions with empathy and insight, creating a rich portrait of a singular marriage, and of the woman who until now has been a shadow in the historical record. Mansions of the Moon <\/em>is a literary event, and a remarkable moment in an esteemed author\u2019s extraordinary career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u201cwallah\u201d is a merchant or hawker.

There is an eclectic quality to the way the stories jostle against each other \u2014 life on a sugar plantation in Trinidad next to a story set in bustling Bombay, a honeymoon in the hills of Sri Lanka, and a childhood in rural Australia. Selvadurai\u2019s arrangement creates a marvelous cacophony like early morning at a South Asian bazaar. Story-Wallah!<\/em> is essential reading for anyone with an interest in South Asian writers and the dynamic, important tales they have to tell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
