A Brown University graduate who lived overseas most of her life, Susma recently chose to move to Nepal for good . "My family? They are more amused by whnat I'm doing and don't know what to make of me, I think," she said. She spoke in soft, Low tones and had lots of advice for me , an aspiring headed to the East Coast I hadn't read her book then .Tell me what you think , she said . I nodded.
It's four months and i am in the East Coast reading the end of the world, The book seems to mark the beginning of an era to me , an era where English writers in Nepal are being published in the country to an audience that is receptive and critical.An era that begins to reflect on the complex and complicated history of the country and the country's people, one that goes beyond the recycled headlines of the nation's daily newspapers. Through fiction The End of the world does what fact cannot do , it gives you a subjective perspective of the suffering and unending longing that the citzens share.
All of Sushma's stories are based in Nepal and her character are ordinary Nepalis, usually form the remote rural regions, looking for an opportunity that they think would make their life better.In its musings on the perplexity of liying, it echoes the theme of the country is yours , a collection of contemporary Nepali literature translated by Manjushree Thapa. It returns to the theme of hunger and insecurity, the rage and struggle of the forgotten village people, of a society that is changing and yet seems to perpetuate the differences of class in myriad ways.
