A work of Sinhala literary fiction from Vidarshana, a Colombo publisher of contemporary Sinhala writing. The author, Erik Ilayaparachchi, writes in Sinhala and is known among readers of modern Sinhala literature.
The text is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English translation or parallel text, so reading it requires fluent Sinhala. Buyers ordering from outside Sri Lanka should take that as the first thing to check before adding it to a basket — this is a book for Sinhala readers, not for those approaching Sri Lankan literature through English.
The title carries the name of Tagore, the Bengali poet whose work has long circulated among Sinhala writers and readers in translation.
It will suit readers who follow current Sinhala fiction and want titles that are difficult to find outside Sri Lanka, as well as Sinhala-speaking families abroad building a shelf of contemporary writing from home. University and research libraries collecting modern South Asian literature in its original languages may also want a copy.
