Review

‘[There’s a Carnival Today] is a colourful slice of Darjeeling served with a side of droll humour that runs into deep cynicism as the journey picks up pace. It offers an uncommon window into to the nitty-gritty of the history, culture and life of the Nepalese populace. This is a book that requires the same patience to read it that it invests in its characters.’—The Free Press Journal

‘[There’s a Carnival Today] is a prescient novel about Darjeeling […] about lost hopes and the constant political haggling that still plague the hills today.’— The Statesman

‘Strong characters, amazing plot, crisp narration, interesting Language makes this book one of the best read.’ —Vidhya Thakkar Blog

Review

‘Indra Bahadur Rai is the most respected and renowned figure in the world of modern Nepali literature. A masterly storyteller, he is also a serious thinker, skilful essayist and proficient critic… I believe that, just as I did, everyone will find the English translation of his novel by Manjushree Thapa, who is internationally acclaimed for her English writing, to be astonishingly impressive and beautiful, and an original work in its own right.—Bairagi Kainla, poet, literary critic and Chancellor, Nepal Academy.
