In a society that is perennially chained to heteronormative politics and Buddhist ideologies, Visakesa Chandrasekaram's The Son and the Lover makes a bold intervention in exploring a queer relationship between a Buddhist monk and a white Australian. The story takes a radical departure from the usual escape narrative that views the West as the site of queer emancipation. Chandrasekaram's novel, in this manner, daringly looks for alternative spaces for queer futures and hope. The Son and the Lover is a spectacular literary feat accomplished with a magical imagination, evoking the cinematic paintings of Saytajit Ray juxtaposed with uncanny dream sequences characteristic of David Lynch's cinema. The novel's lyrical prose is matched by its deftness to portray profound human emotions with unparalleled depth, masterfully dissect desire and resuscitation, and articulate a philosophy of life. It is a tour de force that introduces a rebel to the Sri Lankan literary scene.
