When Royal Ghost published in Feb 9…may be I brought in Feb 12 from Border with $13 cost. Why did I buy Royal Ghost? I have heard many times about his creation “Arresting God in KTM “and “The Guru of Love”. But I have not read these two books. I read about Samrat Uppadhya and his new book ‘Royal Ghosts” in Nepalese Newspaper. These all news made me to buy “The Royal Ghost’. All of the stories I finished within one week. NY Subway and Central Park was my place to read these stories. If you read this story in KTM may be you will have different vision but reading in the out of Nepal… I saw all images in the story. I hope many of you already had this short stories collection. I would like to share my analysis about this book. There are 9 stories in this Royal ghosts, all set in Kathmandu valley or let’s say only in Kathmandu like Dharahara,Lazimpat,Tripuresor,Bansbari,Bagbazar and so on. Some of the character comes from out of Kathmandu valley like Janakpur or Ghorkha. All of the character lives in KTM and works in KTM. When you go through with the story you will see all the café shop, Street and more scenarios. I like the first 2 story. A Refugee and the Wedding Hero. When I finished reading these two stories I realize that Samrat Uppadhya present the characters in innocent way. Without doing any thing by themself character suffers in the story. And the “Weight of Gun” one of the Best story I like. There is no decorative ending in the story. Some stories has symptom of ongoing Maoist conflict’s consequence. The third stage is more hypothetical story. I had lots of hope and eager to read the final story “The royal ghosts’ I read that story at last because I thought it would be the best One! If I would read the Royal Ghost in the beginning I would not read any of rest stories. If possible I would return this book.Writer used the Title Royal Ghost to CASH his book. There is not only Nepali English reader but also there are many more English readers for Nepali literature.so probally he tried to CASH the Present situation Of Nepal in The title. He used the sensible background in the story which I felt so bad. Writer could use other back ground the represent the story could be better. I feel so bad reading this final story. And in That background he could create the nice story! One of the characters in each story talks about Indian things some character talks about Amitab bachhan or manisha Koirala or Dilip Kumar or even Indian food. Why each of one character is joining with Indian stuff..? That’s I did not like…That does not represent the creative writing…that represents the writer himself or his ness. The entire story seems like English Translation of Nepali story. I could not find out any creative way of expressing. And there is no depth of characters and situation. Most stories have plain exterior. Yes there are some emotional catch in the story like the weight of Gun. When I finished all this stories…I felt if the writer would collect all of the characters in one stage and create the nice novel would be more effective!
