Arresting God in Kathmandu


#199
Title: Arresting God in Kathmandu
Author: Samrat Upadhyay
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin
Year: 2001
Country: Nepal
201 pages

A very readable short story collection by the first Nepali author writing in English. The stories are related by geography and culture. As in Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies, they are also related by their focus on interpersonal tension, remorse, and failure. Do read the collection in order for the ebb and flow of emotion.
