A Sinhala-language title from Thissa Karunasekara, published in Colombo by Godage International Publishers. The whole book is in Sinhala script — there is no English text, no parallel translation and no transliteration — so it is intended for readers who are comfortable reading Sinhala.
The title translates roughly as "words of laughter", which places it among the lighter side of Sinhala writing rather than the academic or documentary end of the list. It is a slim volume, the sort of thing read in a sitting or two.
Godage International Publishers is an established Colombo house issuing books in Sinhala and English across fiction, poetry, history and reference, and much of what it prints is written for a domestic Sri Lankan readership rather than for export. That is worth knowing if you are ordering from abroad: books like this are not usually easy to find outside the island.
It will suit Sinhala readers in the diaspora keeping a small home library in the language, families buying reading matter in Sinhala for children and teenagers who read it, and anyone building a collection of contemporary Sinhala-language titles.
