Literary Rites 2008: a celebration of writers, rituals, and rights
4.30pm on Saturday the 27th and Sunday the 28th of September at The
Study, 10, Alwis Place, Colombo 3.
Among other things writing has been described as a celebration of
self expression, a force for social change and a compulsive disorder.
Have you ever wondered what writing is all about?
How an author weaves from a few ideas and incidents characters, plots
and poetry? What an author experiences while engaging in the
semi-mystical task of creating a force as powerful as literature; which
possesses the potential to cause revolution, reforms and repentance?
What spark of inspiration compels a writer to write? Do you find
writing merely an interesting phenomenon, or do you wish to succumb to
the fiendish urge to participate in this arcane rite?
Discuss the art, craft or mystery of literary writing with Ameena
Hussein, Simon Harris and Yasmin Gooneratne on the 27th of September and
Neluka Silva, Seneka Abeyratne, and Vivimarie Vanderpoorten on the 28th
of September, in an intimate, informal forum.
Hosted by The Interact Club of The Study in the breezy cloisters of
this A level College at 10, Alwis Place, Colombo 3, Literary Rites
promises two afternoons of creative stimulus, guidance and ideas
combined with active discussion and refreshments to keep you going.
Be prepared to be exposed to the power, idiosyncrasies and
experiences that make writing the literary rite it is. Let the authors
take you on a journey of discovery; examining and explaining the way
writing has changed and affected their lives and challenging you to do
the same.
Also this journey provides the Interact Club of the Study with the
necessary funds for the year 2008/2009 and part of the proceeds will be
used to encourage young writers.
