Waking the Tiger is a novel set in late-1950s Sri Lanka, a country at the edge of a gathering storm of violence.

Filled with vivid accounts of local customs and locales, Waking the Tiger sardonically describes the underbelly of an apparent paradise. Feinberg lived in Sri Lanka with his family from 1957-1958, when he was Fulbright lecturer in American Literature at the University of Ceylon.
