Buy Arresting God In Kathmandu Old Books Online, Authored by samrat upadhyay, Harper Perennial in paperback binding in short stories genre from Used Book Store.

Arresting God in Kathmandu, the first Nepalese author to write in English and be published in the West, brilliantly explores the nature of desire and spirituality in a changing society. With the certainty and unsentimental wisdom of a longtime author, Upadhyay chronicles the echoes of modernization through love and family. Here are husbands and wives bound by arranged marriages, but sometimes drawn elsewhere by an intense desire for connection and transcendence. In a city where the gods are omnipresent, privacy is elusive, and family defines identity, these men and women are at the mercy of their desires but the will of their society. Psychologically rich and incredibly insightful, Arresting God in Kathmandu introduces a powerful new voice to contemporary fiction.
