Suresh Mudannayake or Ashok Ferrey is a famous figure in the Colombo Sri Lankan English literary scene. He has written many short stories as well as novels based on an interesting writing style unique to him.
He was able to create a discourse in the Colombo literary scene on various topics that he had discussed in his novels and short stories on many platforms. (Digital and actual book reading events.)
Many of his short stories in the book "Colpetty People" reflects the psyche of the "Upper middle class and high class" people who live in Colombo Sri Lanka.
With a nostalgic writing style that collects memories and experiences of the writer himself, the book becomes a stylish book with colorful events and situations.
For me as an amateur reader though his writing style was unique was hard to understand.
But I enjoyed what the writer trying to say to the readers, that what is it to be Sri Lankan.
