This book I picked up, since stories were from Sri Lanka. Well, Sri Lank is exotic to me. Now, characters were in sarong or osari. Different Sri Lankan exotic words slip in. There are stories about straight love, getting laid, gay love and lesbians in love. It wasn't awkward to read any one of them, thankfully.
Though not all stories weren't great and poetry was simply passable. Yet I liked it, since stories were a breeze to read and some of them did rise to occasion. ;)
I found the contributors to the anthology interesting too. There were two writers who contributed two stories each. Tariq Solomons and Sam Perera - both stories contrary in outlook, one is about a straight couple and other about a gay couple. Chinaman writer Shehan Karunatilaka has also contributed a story, though a sad one.
Stories I liked were: No, The Proposal and Bookworm. I think Undercover too deserves a mention.… (mehr)
