'A Man' from 1993 by Jagath Weerasinghe presents an individual who is responding to the crisis of his time and place - where the inseparability of the self from one's habitus leads him to seek rationales that can in someway legitimise his existence as a part of a larger community and the culpability he feels on behalf of it. Weerasinghe through his work often attempts to comprehend the cruelty that lurks within each human being - channelled as it is by an attachment to one’s personal beliefs and notions of culture.
