THE SLOW, SAD SUICIDE OF ROHAN WIJERATNE

THE SLOW, SAD SUICIDE OF ROHAN WIJERATNE

If you haven’t yet heard of Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, it’s time to take notice. This emerging Sri Lankan author is making waves in the literary world, and his debut novel NUMBERCASTE was so compelling that it caught the attention of Harper Collins India, leading to an impressive four-book deal. Yudhanjaya’s unique voice and imaginative storytelling have already garnered critical acclaim, including a shared victory at the prestigious Gratiaen Prize.

While we eagerly anticipate the release of his upcoming novel, we at Perera Hussein Publishing House are thrilled to present a collection of Yudhanjaya’s science fiction short stories. This collection showcases his wit, creativity, and the ability to push the boundaries of the genre in a way that is both credible and enthralling.

One of the standout stories in this collection is The Slow, Sad Suicide of Rohan Wijeratne, a piece of contemporary science fiction that exemplifies Yudhanjaya’s ability to blend imagination with thought-provoking narratives. Whether you’re a seasoned science fiction reader or someone new to the genre, these stories, with their literary flair, are sure to captivate and leave a lasting impression.

We believe that Yudhanjaya Wijeratne is a writer to watch, and we’re excited to share his work with a broader audience. His collection of science fiction stories is now available for purchase on our website, www.pererahussein.com, and we offer shipping to Australia within 10 days.

Nobody remembers who attacked first, who fired that first shot. Nobody remembers how the war started.

But they do remember how the Fleet ships died, throwing themselves heroically in the line of fire even as their human captains lay dead. They remember how they charged, hellebores blazing, engines spinning, even as they knew no hope remained. And they remember how they sang as they died, all those ships, their songs rippling through space and time, one last, angry burst of message on all channels for all to remember.
