Synopsis

"'Buddhu Ammoo! (an invocation of one's sainted mother) Is it an Air Raid by the Japs?' - father shouted in alarm. Before anybody could respond, we heard the Siren installed at the Police Station at Wellawatte erupt into action. The ‘wha-wha’ emitted by this device signaled the dreaded air raid..."
A graphic autobiographical memoir of life in Colonial Ceylon during the 1930s and 40s, Hello Johnny! One Cigarette captures the raw, rude allure of these distant times in perfect prose. Whether it is the bombing of Colombo by the Japanese Imperial Navy, or close encounters with Comets, Cobras, Brits, School Teachers or Thugs, this book is bound to keep your entertained to the very end, with stark recollections of a culture and a way of life now gone forever.
