A collection of eight short stories by Ashoka Handagama, who is known as a filmmaker and who wrote these pieces for newspapers over a period of ten years. The publisher's description notes that the social frictions and collisions of that decade surface in the stories.
The book is written in Sinhala throughout, with no English text, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading Sinhala prose. It is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co.
Short fiction written for the newspaper page carries its own constraints — a piece has to land inside a limited space, for a general readership, week after week — and this volume gathers a decade of Handagama's work in that form into one place. For readers abroad who follow Sri Lankan writing in Sinhala, or who know Handagama's cinema and want to read his prose, it brings together material that was otherwise scattered across newspaper issues.
