Long live 'Montage'

The Sunday Observer is the only local English weekly to devote a separate section for arts and culture. Unlike its competitors Montage has been able to carry indepth analyses of literary works, drama and cinema.

Montage has attracted a prominent panel of writers from here and abroad. The reader response is positive to their contributions.

While maintaining its critical stance Montage serialised the English translation of Sumithra Rahubadde's "Iti Pahan". It is now serialising the English version of Kathleen Jayewardene's Sinhala novel "Agni Chakra".

Ranga Chandrarathne and Indeewara Thilakarathne deserve a pat on their back for taking the initiative to launch Montage and to keep it going without a break.
