Mishal Mazin

The Slick Mongoose Mishal Mazin

An animated narrative in verse, portraying the grime of the urban streets of Colombo and the grit of its people. Mazin rides through various nuances of identity and perseverance in the face of alienation, living in a city without speaking the tongue which grew to become his home. The stories he paints are etched into the very foundations of this brilliant city that hides a vibrant yet dirty past draped and doused in red tape and Arrack. Cover art by Devaka Perera
