Sobre este artículo
India. 2002.. 204pp, paperback cover spine little sunned, name half title, a good copy. Brilliantly exploring the nature of desire and spirituality in a changing society, Arresting God in Kathmandu records the echoes of modernization in love and family. Husbands and wives bound together by arranged marriages, are driven elsewhere by the basic human desire for connection and transcendence in a city where gods are omnipresent, privacy is elusive and family defines identity. Psychologically rich and astonishingly acute, Arresting God in Kathmandu is a potent voice in contemporary fiction. .
Sinopsis
From the first Nepali author writing in English to be published in the West, Arresting God in Kathmandu brilliantly explores the nature of desire and spirituality in a changing society. With the assurance and unsentimental wisdom of a long-established writer, Upadhyay records the echoes of modernization throughout love and family. Here are husbands and wives bound together by arranged marriages but sometimes driven elsewhere by an intense desire for connection and transcendence. In a city where gods are omnipresent, where privacy is elusive and family defines identity, these men and women find themselves at the mercy of their desires but at the will of their society. Psychologically rich and astonishingly acute, Arresting God in Kathmandu introduces a potent new voice in contemporary fiction.
