EQUAL GROUND
01/05/2026
Dr Sean Perera’s debut novel, a Butterfly, writes Gratiaen Prize winner Dr Vihanga Perera, pushes past half-hearted representations of homosexual and homo-erotic energies that, over the past two decades have received global attention.
a Butterfly tells a coming-of-age story about a young gay Sri Lankan man in the seemingly cocooned safety of Australia, while homosexuality is punishable by law in his homeland, Sri Lanka. The protagonist’s name, Pathanga, which in Sanskrit means butterfly, is also pejorative slang for homosexual in Sri Lanka, where this novel originates. Written in four parts, a Butterfly narrates Pathanga’s family relationships, friendships, sexual awakening and most importantly explorations of himself.
Copies of a Butterfly are available from Sarasavi Sri Lanka bookstores.
