| Samenvatting | The twelve short stories and 54 haiku presented in Chirag Bangdel's first international publication MIST AROUND THE STUPA; constitute a vivid recreation of life as it is today in Nepal. Bangdel is a sharply intelligent and compassionate observer of both life in the city of the educated young and life in the country of the hill-people, each with their very own dreams and aspirations. His writing manages to bring to life real people, real situations, real feelings ... as they present themselves in the first decade of the new millenium. We meet - and befriend - Anup and his old pal Kapil, now living in the U. S., sympathize with parental pain over a son working in a far-away country, feel the hopes dashed by criminal manpower agencies, walk through the hills with a 'crop shaman'. The haiku, with their own special charm, create exquisite glimpses of moments frozen in time, every single one of them conjuring up images of a the multitude of diverse impressions possible in a land like Nepal - for the Nepal lover a feast of memories and possible future moments and for the novice a lovely way to see the world with the writer's highly differentiated and finely honed perception. |
