GT, I am glad you are reading 'Pratek Thau, Pratek Manchhe(PTPM)' by Peter J Karthak. I have always revered that guy for his writing. In the novel PTPM, I was awestruck by what the author calls "Prelude" of the novel. The temporal and spatial existence of a city ,Darjeeling, has been depicted with great aplomb.
That Peter is a maverick writer is well-known in Kathmandu circles. Check his obituary on Michael Jackson to sniff the whiff of his tone, tenor and tumult in writing:

And, I would also recommend CK Lal's criticism of the novel once you finish your reading. Please, follow this link :

On a different note, I have always wanted to read some critical books on Marxism. One such book was 'The New Class' by Milovan Djilas. I will be pleased to be recommended of any such books.
Thank You.
