A collection of Sinhala short stories by Nirmal Chathuranga, published in Colombo by S. Godage. The title, written in Sinhala script as අරුංගල් සිහිනය, is the one under which the book is catalogued by the National Library of Sri Lanka, where it is classed under Sinhalese short stories.
The text is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English translation within the volume and no parallel text, so reading it requires Sinhala literacy. Buyers ordering from outside Sri Lanka should be clear on that before adding it to a basket: this is a book for readers of the language, for Sinhala-speaking households abroad keeping a home library, and for university and institutional collections building holdings in contemporary Sri Lankan fiction.
Godage International Publishers is an established Colombo house with a long list in Sinhala, covering fiction, poetry, scholarship and reference work. Short story collections of this kind form a steady part of Sinhala literary publishing, and Godage has issued a great many of them by writers at various stages of their careers.
The short story has a strong standing in Sinhala letters, and single-author collections are the usual form in which the work reaches readers. If you follow contemporary Sinhala fiction and are filling gaps by author rather than by title, this is one to note.
