'Chinaman' Is Making Waves in US

Well, I blogged about Shehan Karunatilaka and his novel 'chinaman' last week.
Today Indi featured him on MTV SPORTS morning show. Shehan connected via Skype from US, where he is currently on a book tour promoting his novel. Man, A novel 1000% on cricket, in US? He sure has some talent. I am really happy to see this progress. A Sri Lankan novelist, making waves. Really really happy.


Or BTW, the novel is renamed to 'Legend of Pradeep Mathew' as 'chinaman' is offensive to Chinese. I don't know. *face palm*


If I was working for Sri Lanka Tourist Board, I would do a campaign for 'Sri Lanka' along side. He's basically pitching Sri Lanka. What more do we need as a nation, at this opportune moment?


Do watch the video below. It's hilariously informative.
