Sri Lanka springs a multitude of stereotypes — beaches, tea gardens, civil war and the word ‘serendipity’, which was inspired by the island’s ancient name Serendip. But there is much more to this neighbouring island split by the Palk Strait, and its layers can be peeled during a sojourn to Colombo and beyond.
But if you would rather read, then delve into Rohini Mohan’s The Seasons of Trouble, Samanth Subramanian’s This Divided Island, Shehan Karunatilaka’s Chinaman, Gopalkrishna Gandhi’s Refuge or Ashok Ferrey’s novels seasoned with black humour. You get a sense of a small nation that has an all-embracing culture despite subterranean fissures. To this great body of above-mentioned work, please add Andrew Fidel Fernando’s Upon a Sleepless Isle.
