A Sinhala-language title from Godage International Publishers, the Colombo house that issues fiction, translation and scholarly work in both Sinhala and English.
The text is entirely in Sinhala script. There is no English text and no parallel translation, so this is a book for readers who are comfortable reading Sinhala rather than for those approaching the language for the first time. Buyers ordering from outside Sri Lanka should be clear on that before adding it to a basket.
The name on the cover, Ariya Rajakaruna, is one that Sinhala readers will recognise from the country's literary and academic writing. The title itself, Rashomon, is drawn from the Japanese — a name long attached to Akutagawa's short fiction and to Kurosawa's film, and one that carries those associations for most readers who come across it.
It will suit Sinhala readers abroad who are keeping up with work published at home, members of the diaspora building a library in their first language, and university collections holding contemporary Sinhala writing.
