This, however, is no hallucination but genuinely the after life inhabited by ghosts and lost spirits, bureaucracy and paperwork: “The afterlife is a tax office and everyone wants their rebate.” In this opening scene we see a bravura example of Karunatilaka’s strengths in this novel – his sense of absurdity and his control of dialogue. It looks like a car park with no cars, or a market space with nothing to sell. The air is foggy, though no one appears to be exhaling smoke or carbon dioxide.
