Consumer Rating:   5.0 stars   See 2 Reviews   Post to Web
The second son of a privileged family in Sri Lanka, Arjie prefers staging make-believe weddings with his female cousins than batting balls with the other boys. When his parents discover his innocent pastime, Arjie is forced to abandon his idyllic childhood games and adopt the rigid rules of the adult world. Bewildered by his incipient sexual awakening, Arjie painfully grows toward manhood and an understanding of his own "different" identity.

Professional Reviews
Professional Reviews <b><i>Nation</i>:</b> "'Funny Boy'...is really a story about the power of stories--the bitter truths, the mythologies, the fantasies that make and maintain families and nations....Selvadurai's humor is crisp, his prose spare and disciplined....In this tale of a country where wars erupt because one clan considers itself superior to another, American readers should recognize our own stories."
