“My beautiful day. The 7:45 AM mug of tea before work begins in the blistering, opaque, frost of early morning. The raucous gossip and good cheer of other sites, other workers.”
“Evening tea under a single grim light bulb at 4 o’clock in the sunless half-grey world of dusk, all seated in a row upon the scaffold board supported by pain pots at either end. The workers finishing at 5:30 PM, leaving me to carry on into the night for the next few hours.
Short days of action, longer nights of introspection.”
One of the finest writers of modern Sri Lankan writing, Ashok Ferrey, weaves a brilliant narrative of life, love, loss, and relationships in his latest book, The Unmarriageable Man.
