For your information, the NY Times is INDEED coming out with a review of Samrat's
latest book soon. Once that review comes out, it will make Samrat the FIRST Nepali
writer to have ALL three of his books reviewed by the NYT. A small routine
achievement, to be sure!
As for discerning Samrat's talents as a writer perhaps other 'writer-ly' Nepalis,
who seem to have major-league publishers banging on their door for manuscripts,
can do so more authoritatively here than I, as a mere reader, ever can.
