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.

這是一個朋友推薦的,我首先需要感謝他推薦這麼好的一本書給我,雖然至今都感覺有點茫然和睏惑。還有超級多的單詞不認識。但是懂瞭一個大概。這是一個尼泊爾的作傢寫的,據說這也是那個作者第一本英語作品。我想應該是花費瞭他不少的精力去完成的吧。不然不會有這麼細膩的深深地感觸在裏麵的。
評分去加都時的紀念品。九章短篇,人情多於風土,還不是期待中的從本地文化齣發更深入的探討,有點想要杜甫但其實更多是李白的感覺。
評分尼泊爾紀念品 一看到失業情節就想到理查德耶茨,一看到偷情情節就想到薩岡,整體也有種卡佛feel 除去一些背景和細節 故事可以發生在任何地方
評分看完就對尼泊爾男淫死心瞭,哈哈。。這個作者行文給人有點《午餐盒》那部電影的感覺,尼印一脈,有點意思。
