A Sri Lankan "Cinema Paradiso" (1988) - Bringing Tony Home : A story in three movements by Tissa Abeysekara

 


Tissa Abeysekara's Gratiaen prize-winning novella of 1996 is a story that includes a reminiscing of the past of one of the best artists Sri Lanka has ever produced.

The writer of this book unlocks the readers a beautiful world of post-independent Sri Lanka.

I read the Surasa publication for the year 2016 with 100 pages that cost rupees 300/=.

The story gives the vibes of the academy award-winning film "Cinema Paradiso" (1988) by the renowned filmmaker Giuseppe Tornatore.

A book that reminds the power of nostalgia is a wonderful short and sweet reading experience.

Overall Rating - 4/5
