Of this Book...................
"We hold onto favourite books for reasons that are not universal. Each word and sentence in this one carried me into arms I'd been in before. No other book brings me as close to my lost self.
It is a lost classic for me, too, because of the book's quick fate. Published in Sri Lanka by a small press, it has so far not been published anywhere else. It was a story written far from the publish-ing centres of the west and there it remains. Still lost to the rest of the world".
