Besides presenting a historical overview of the field, the book also discusses some of the prevalent themes in Nepali literature. It contains chapters on several canonical writers such as Laxmi Prasad Devkota, Madhav Prasad Ghimire, and Balkrishna Sama, as well as contemporary Nepali writers including Abhi Subedi, Ranjan Adiga, and Prajwal Parajuli. A key feature of the book is its focus on form as it covers the most popular genres in Nepali literature including poetry, short story, play, essay, novel, and digital and experimental literature. The chapters engage with Nepal’s diverse socio-political and cultural realities and explore a range of themes such as LGBTQ rights and activism, Dalit literature, feminism and diaspora, while articulating pressing issues of belonging, diversity, and inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature and culture studies, South Asian studies, and Nepal and Himalayan studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePuspa Damai\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English at Marshall University, West Virginia, USA.
