Cut Pieces

Sri Lanka's unique position along the ancient Silk Route has shaped it into South Asia's most culturally layered nation, absorbing influences from countless civilizations across millennia. Ashok Ferrey's debut collection of humorous essays explores this wonderfully paradoxical island—where contradictions coexist, logic bends, and daily life delivers unexpected satisfactions—through the lens of someone who has called it home for three decades. His witty observations cut through the complexity to reveal what makes Sri Lankan society both infuriatingly illogical and utterly captivating.
