Kaluachchigamage Jayatillake (Sinhala:කේ.ජයතිලක) (27 June 1926 – 14 September 2011), known as ''K.Jayatillake'', is a Sinhala novelist and literary critic. He was born in Kannimahara, Gampaha District, Sri Lanka and was a contemporary of Mahagama Sekara having studied in the same school. He married Sumana Jayatillake and is the father of four children. K Jayatilake is one of Sri Lanka's topmost creative writers of the modern period of Sinhala literature. Using his close observations of village life, Jayatilake was a pioneer in the Sinhalese realistic novel. His first creative work, Punaruppattiya, a collection of short stories published in 1955, was well received. His award-winning novel and acknowledged masterpiece, Charitha Thunak, published in 1963, begins with a scene of peasants working in the field, evoking the intimate relationship between the villager and the earth. In this and other novels, Jayatilake reminds us also of the close-knit society of the village that is guided by common values. He died on September 14, 2011, at a private hospital in Colombo. == Works == *Parajithayo *Charitha Thunak *Punchirala *Punchiralage Maranaya *Rajapakshe Walawwa *Pitha Maha *Piya Saha Puththu *Aprasanna Kathawa *Adishtana *Kalo Ayanthe *Maya Maliga *Manahkalpita Vartavak Hevath Ardha Navakatavak *Mahallekuge Prema Katavak *Mathu sambandai *Ekage Avurudhdha *Vajira Pabbatha 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「K.
