G. B. Senanayake

Died in 1985

G. B. Senanayake was born on 13 or 14 July 1913 in Mulleriyawa, near Colombo. He left school at fourteen for lack of money and trained himself at the Colombo public library, which he called his university. A journalist at the Dinamina, then at the Sinhala Bauddhaya, he left the press to write. Having become blind around 1980, he still dictated some twenty books, out of the fifty or so that he left. Honoured by the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, he died on 15 or 16 March 1985.
