By Uditha Devapriya
In 1906, Martin Wickramasinghe prematurely ended his formal studies and arrived in Colombo in search of employment. Eventually, he found work. He then began to explore the city, meeting people and taking part in public discussions. He also began to read widely, and to reflect on what he read. All this laid the foundation for his writing career. The lecture will explore Wickramasinghe’s early experiences in Colombo, focusing on the books and authors he read and the impact they had on him.
Moderated by Hirun Matheesha, the presentation will be followed by a small discussion.
