Biography
Shehan Karunatilaka was born in 1975 in Galle, southern Sri Lanka, and grew up in Colombo. He was educated at S. Thomas' Preparatory School, Kollupitiya, Sri Lanka, and then in New Zealand at Whanganui Collegiate School, and Massey University. He graduated in English literature, against his family's wish that he study business administration.
Before publishing his debut novel in 2010, he worked in advertising at McCann, Iris and BBDO, and has also written features for The Guardian, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, GQ, National Geographic, Conde Nast, Wisden, The Cricketer and the Economic Times. He has played bass with Sri Lankan rock bands Independent Square and Powercut Circus and the Brass Monkey Band.
