A work of Sinhala fiction by Gunadasa Amarasekara, issued by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo. The text is in Sinhala throughout, with no English translation, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading the language.
Amarasekara is a figure in the development of the Sinhala short story, and his publisher places this title within that body of work. His writing in the form is associated with a shift in direction — not only in the subject matter he chose, but in the shape a story could take and in the way characters were drawn. Readers approaching him for the first time are generally meeting a writer who treated the short story as something to be reworked rather than inherited.
Of interest to readers of modern Sinhala literature, to students following the growth of the short story in Sri Lanka, and to Sinhala-speaking readers abroad building a collection of the country's twentieth-century fiction at home.
