Born in London to Sri Lankan parents and educated in the UK, Praveen Herat currently resides in Paris. But it was a three-year period living in Phnom Penh that marked him deeply as a writer. There, he grasped that his experience as a first-generation immigrant and itinerant emigrant, navigating constantly between the center and the periphery, had profound parallels with a number of quintessential contemporary experiences. The key protagonists in his novel Between This World and the Next manifest this in different ways: through struggling with the complex legacy of their mixed-race heritage; through the experience of being exiled from wider society as a slave, and through being consumed by the lust for status and power in the lawless void that followed the fall of Soviet communism. The product of a ten-year period of research and writing, the novel reflects the evolution of transnational crime across numerous locations, which include not only Cambodia but Ukraine, Dubai, and Liberia. it is the winner of the Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing.
