The New York based young writer of Sri Lankan origin, Vasugi V. Ganeshananthan’s first novel Love Marriage is going to be published in April 2008. Following passage is from her website, http://www.vasugi.com/index.html

In this globe-scattered Sri Lankan family, we speak only of two kinds of marriage. The first is the Arranged Marriage. The second is the Love Marriage. In reality, there is a whole spectrum in between, but most of us spend years running away from the first towards the second. [p. 3]

She seems to be attracted to back Home and Tamil identity, also a member of the Facebook group ‘Ariyalai’, a suburban of Jaffna!
It is heartening to see a young Eelam Tamil writer with western literary background writing about Eelam struggle and Tamil expatriate life. I am eagerly waiting to see how she has portrayed this Sri Lankan conflict in her book, which is going to be read by many non Tamil English readers.
