Analysis on the 'dazzling' winning novelby Rebecca Jones , arts correspondent
Where to start with this crazy, exuberant metaphysical whodunnit which is part Murder Mystery , part comedy?
Imagine combining brownies, trifle and doughnuts into one single cake and you might get the idea.
But Shehan Karunatilaka mixes different genres so deftly that you end up with a rich, satisfying novel, rather than an overstuffed one.
The opening of The Book sets the slightly absurd tone. It starts in The Afterlife , which turns out to be bureaucratic and banal.
It Then flips back and forth between The Underworld and The Real world during the Sri Lankan Civil War in 1990 as Maali Almeida tries to Work Out who killed Him - and why.
Shehan Karunatilaka says The Book has been in his head for 10 Years and goodness his brain must have been busy.
But he struggled to find an international publisher.
Winning the Booker will bring this dazzling novel, deservedly, to a much wider audience.
The Seven Moons of Maali is Karunatilaka's second novel, having previously won awards including The Commonwealth Book Prize for his debut book Chinaman, which was called the " Second Best cricket book of all time" by cricketers' almanac Wisden.
Born in 1975, the writer has also worked as an advertising copywriter, and his songs, scripts and stories have been published in Rolling Stone , GQ and National Geographic .
MacGregor, a former director of London's National Gallery and the British Museum , added that the judges read all 170 books put forward for The Prize , then whittled them down to 30 and re-read those, before deciding on The Final six, which they read for a third time.
The were:
When asked by The Bbc how many hours he had spent reading novels for The Prize , MacGregor said: " I've been doing it almost every week since early December . . It's lots and lots of happy reading.
" There's No Other way I would ever have come across as many books from different places, different cultures. "
MacGregor's fellow judges were Alain Mabanckou , Helen Castor , M John Harrison and Shahidha Bari. Last Year 's prize was.
