Research Interests Briefly, I going to write my dissertation on narrative technics of stories in prose in medieval Sinhala literature. I am interested in theorizing about the concept of prose that underlies the classical Sinhala prose. In this study, I will take a narrative theoretical approach to analyze the classics. Even though, Sinhala literary culture had some 6-8 centuries long prose tradition, it was marginalized in the colonial time, when Western fiction came into the Sinhala literary scene. Therefore, my study will have something to add to the postcolonial literary theories too. So, my interests are mainly narrative theory, literary theory ,postclonial literary theory and South Asian literary cultures. In Madison, I work with my adviser Prof. Charles Hallisey.
