Wrong information
This is in reference to the news entitled
"PM releases first English novel by a Nepali" (TKP Oct 16, 2001) about the
release of Manjushree Thapa’s The Tutor of History. On the basis of that information
one of your readers - Khem Thapa- in the letter column of your paper of Oct 29 makes a
slightly varied statement. This statement is not true though the book may be the first one
to be published by Penguins.
I would like to point out that the
children’s story book entitled Chandra & Damaru - Boys of Nepal, written by me
under the pen name of "H" came out in 1967. Later in 1977, The Red Temple was
first published by Sharada Prakashan.
