In conversation with Savin Edirisinghe
Join us for an engaging evening of literature and conversation with Savin Edirisinghe, one of the youngest recipients of the 2025 Gratiaen Prize for his short story collection Kata Katha.
A graduate in English with First Class Honours, visiting lecturer, and content strategist, Savin is an emerging literary voice who writes in both English and Sinhala.
His work explores themes of language, identity, memory, and the often-overlooked stories of everyday life.
Alongside his fiction, Savin writes Sinhala poetry and is currently working on his debut novel and first Sinhala poetry collection.
Discover the inspirations behind his writing, hear about his creative journey, and explore the art of storytelling through an insightful conversation on literature, language, and the experiences that shape a writer’s voice.
