A collection of short stories in Sinhala by P. S. John Piyasiri, issued as part of the Lihini Poth series. The whole book is in Sinhala, with no English text, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading the language.
The Lihini Poth format was widely read in its day, and the series has been brought back by its publisher in a new shape and rhythm in response to requests from readers. Kalgiya Naduwa belongs to that revived line. It takes its name from one of the stories in the collection.
The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co., a Colombo house that publishes in Sinhala and English.
Worth knowing if you are buying from outside Sri Lanka: this is a Sinhala-language title intended for the local readership, and the small-format Lihini Poth books are plainly produced rather than elaborate. Readers collecting Sinhala short fiction, or those who grew up with the original Lihini Poth and want the series in its current form, are the natural audience.
