Dilshan Boange Biography

I am a graduate in English from the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka. My schooling was at Wesley College Colombo (left in 2002) where i was inloved in a host of extra-curricular activites which included being part of the Shakespeare drama troupe from 1998-2000. From 2005 (Jan) -2008 (August) I worked as a TV presenter, being the (male) host of 'Bonsoir' which is Sri Lanka's oldest running cultural TV show. And since 2008 I have been writing articles to the newspaper The Ceylon Daily News, on the lines of literary commentary and analysis. Two of the most influential modern authors I have come across are Milan Kundera and Michael Ondaatje. My BA dissertation was a study of Ondaatje's lyricism in novels. I am not as yet a published writer, which I guess does not make me an author (yet) !
