A collection of strange-but-true stories, gathered from the weekly column Saman Priyankara Nammunige wrote for the Ridma supplement of the Sinhala newspaper Lakbima. The pieces deal with the kind of incident that surfaces in ordinary life and then refuses to be explained — events people hear about, repeat, and find hard to credit. Having first appeared week by week in the paper, they have been brought together here in one volume.
This book is written entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text, so a reader who does not read Sinhala will not be able to follow it. Buyers abroad ordering for themselves, for family, or for a Sinhala-language collection should take that as the starting point.
The short, self-contained form suits the material: each story stands on its own, which makes the book easy to pick up and put down rather than something to be read straight through. It is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Sri Lankan publishing house.
Of interest to readers who follow Sinhala newspaper columns and feature writing, and to anyone who enjoys accounts of the unexplained drawn from local life rather than from abroad.
