  This article was originally published in The Hemingway Post, a literary magazine. SHIRISHKO PHOOL AND PAGAL BASTI Two unforgettable novels By LB THAPA The history of Nepali novel writing is a familiar one. Poet and writer Girish Ballabh Joshi penned “Bir Charitra” and tried to publish it in 1903. Thus, Bir Charitra is considered the first novel written in the Nepali language. This was when Nepal was under the clutches of the Rana Regime. Freedom of speech and writing would come under heavy scrutiny. Due to constant objections, the novel could not be published for several years. Finally, after much effort, the novel could see the light of day in 1965, when a complete version of the novel was published.  As far as the critical acclaim achieved by any novel in the early days it was of course, Rudra Raj Pande’s "Roopmati." The novel was published in 1934, and it immediately attained the status of bestselling in the country. The novel was widely read in the country and in ...

SPONTANEITY unveils the elixir of life By LB Thapa A good poem may not celebrate language, but it takes you on a short journey through life and directly enters your heart, mind, and soul. It stirs your imagination and gives a gentle tickle to your feelings. And this is what Sushant Thapa’s latest poetry book is loaded with.   Of the five published poetry books, Spontaneity: A New Name of Rhyme is the latest creation of poet Sushant Thapa. The poetry book under review has successfully encompassed a much wider theme of life. Of the total 68 vibrant poems in the book, it seems that every single poem has gone much deeper into life and brought true feelings of human nature. Such a novel effort by the poet is commendable, and therefore his poetry can be put in a different league of success.   As I have been closely watching the poet’s endeavors and crazy devotion to poetry for some time, his growth as an impulsive poet has already been established. It should not be an exaggerati...

  THE ECHOES OF THE SARANGEE By LB Thapa Ramesh Shrestha is an established name in the literary firmament of Nepali literature. He has already published several poetry books and received dozens of prestigious awards. The anthology of poems, Malami Pahad ra Sarangee, under review, is the poet’s latest creation.  Ramesh Shrestha is not only a poet par excellence but also a consummate painter. He has received many awards, accolades, and prizes for excellent paintings. In his latest poetry book, the poet has exploited this painting ability. The poet has designed his own book cover page. Besides, he has also drawn many sketches for most of his poems.     The art made on the book cover and the book's name, ‘Malami Pahad ra Sarangee, perfectly match each other. The Sarangee is exhausted and dead, and now it is left with its skeleton. Here, Sarangee stands for a human who pulls various strings of life and creates music all his life. But the music ceases as soon as t...
