Thanks Tony. Got me worried for a second! I’ve actually read this article and it’s more an attack on the journalists who would rather focus on Sri Lankan culture being overtaken by the west than by celebrating literature itself. Considering it’s an opportunity to meet and listen to international authors and also a venue for Sri Lankan authors to promote themselves in an international setting, I think these journalists are missing the point. It’s a pretty good article.
