The book that catapulted Manjushree Thapa to international literary
fame, "The Tutor of History" is ambitious, intelligent and keenly
observed. It is the late 1990s, a few years into constitutional
democracy in Nepal, and the government has collapsed. In Khaireni
Tar, a small town on the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway, four separate
lives come together during the campaign for fresh elections: Rishi
Parajuli, a disillusioned communist who gives private tuitions in
history; Giridhar Adhikari, an alcoholic who is the chairman of the
People's Party's district committee; Om Gurung, a large-hearted
former British Gurkha; and Binita Dahal, a reclusive young widow
who runs a tea stall near the town's only bus stop. As the
elections approach, and the crises in their lives mount, they must
choose not only for their country, but also for their own
individual futures.
