Acclaimed author Kelum Weligama is set to unveil his latest work ‘Persona’ by means of a virtual book launch – the first in Sri Lanka’s publishing history – on 25 February. Kelum Weligama is also the author of bestselling personal development books, such as ‘Jeewithaya Wenas Karana Katha 1 &2’ (Inspirational Stories for Life) ‘Tharagaye Weeraya’ (Man of the Match) and ‘Maha Molakayo’ (Master Minds).
Moving away from traditional book launches, Weligama has chosen to launch his newest novel via the online sphere. This will also present an opportunity for Sri Lankans living overseas and anyone who has access to the web, as well as those with a love for reading to enjoy the popular author’s latest creation.
Juxtaposed between the colourful fashion world and competitive business arena, the novel is woven around man’s unending attraction towards power, lust and love. The launch of ‘Persona’ is in collaboration with Tharu Ravi Designs and SankaDineth, whose creative ‘Persona’ title song, will also be released on the same day that the novel will be released online.
An exhibition of new generation work by Dominic Online Art Gallery together with a vibrant discussion by esteemed industry experts, who will review the novel, will also take place on the launch day. Impatient fans can also pre-order the book prior to its launch via www.gotit.lk. The trailer of the book can be viewed online and those seeking further information, can log on to the specially created ‘Persona’ Facebook page or www.gotit.lk/Persona for further information.
