Karnali Blues, by Buddhisagar, is the most widely read Nepali novel
to have appeared in the last twenty years. As it recounts the
evolution of a father-son relationship-a son's search for approval,
a father's small acts of kindness and forgiveness, a son's fears
for his father's dignity as his fortunes and faculties begin to
fail-the reader is deeply drawn into young Brisha Bahadur's world.
His father is kind and idealistic; his mother, though she is kind
too, is often frustrated and irascible. The characters in this book
are some of the most carefully drawn and authentic in all of Nepali
literature. In a backwater district of a country about to undergo
radical social, political and cultural change, Brisha's dreams, his
games and his mischief, his loves, his hopes and his fears come
alive. Translated from the Nepali by Michael Hutt, this highly
original piece of work, with the simplicity of its language and its
emotional range, holds the power to take your breath away. Its
principal themes-the love between a son and his father, the joys
and sorrows of childhood, the daily struggle for survival-are
universal, and will resonate with readers the world over.
