A new Sri Lankan writer, Vihanga Perera, has contacted Erandi about a session on his book, Unplugged Quarter. I think we can certainly go ahead with a reading and a discussion, but it will be best if at least some of you read the book before that. I myself haven't read it yet!:( If you read it you could also decide whether you're interested enough to talk about the book too....!
Also, Elmo Jayawardene will be back in the country end of June for a month, and he's kindly agreed to come and talk about his writing. Either Erandi, or the group that interviewed him -- Ameen, Lochana, Madhusha and Amani (if I remember right)-- could email him after uni reopens and fix a date, because he is bound to be busy. It will be nice if you read his books before he comes, once again -- Sam's Story, which won the Gratiaen award, and his more recent collection of short stories, Rainbows in Braille.
Do let us know. You can use this blog as a forum to discuss activities of the ESA as well.
