Criticism

विषय प्रवेश

नदी प्रवाहजस्तै सधैँ नयाँ गतिमान, निरन्तर चर्चा र आदरका साथ सम्झना गरिरहने नाम नै विश्वेश्वरप्रसाद कोइराला हो । 'संसारका थोरै व्यक्तित्वमा हुने विशेषता(व्यक्ति एक, व्यक्तित्व अनेक(बोकेका बी.पी नेपाली धर्तीका वरदपुत्र हुन् । (भट्टराई २०५८ ः ९४) ।' राजनीतिक क्षेत्रमा आजीवन अथकरूपमा राष्ट्रियता, प्रजातन्त्र र समाजवादको सही व्याख्या र नेतृत्व दिँदै आएका उनी नेपाली कथा साहित्यका कोसेढुङ्गा हुन् ।

कहिलेकाहीँ लाग्छ
मैले जस्तो
बेहोर्नुपरेको भए- सङ्कट

With his new collection of 18 stories, Anamik Yatree, Mahesh Paudyal Prarambha has entered the galaxy of Nepali short-fiction writers. Paudyal already has half a dozen books on children’s literature, one on criticism, and several translations. With his latest book, he seems to be carving for himself a niche on exploring adult and child psyche, pursuit of self-awareness and rustic experiences. His characters, most of whom are beset by unfavourable life circumstances, narrate their own tales like the protagonist of title story Anamik Yatree.

At a time when there seems to be a torrent of travelogues in the Nepali literary arena, novelist Dhruba Chandra Gautam has added one more to the genre: Rustira Rumalida. Like his earlier works Ghadiharuko Deshma Samaya Khojdai and Germany: Naya Aanganma Paila Tekda, this work too chronicles the author’s experience abroad. Only this time, the accounts are of his travels in Russia.
