Startlingly good stories of Nepali society set against the backdrop of violent Maoist insurgencies. From an author like a Buddhist Chekhov, The Royal Ghosts features characters trying to reconcile their true desires with the forces at work in Nepali society. As political violence rages, these people struggle with their duties to their aging parents, an oppressive caste system, and the complexities of arranged marriage, striving to find peace and connection, and often discovering it in unexpected places.
These stories, from the Whiting Award–winning author of Arresting God in Kathmandu and The Guru of Love, brilliantly examine not only Kathmandu during a time of upheaval, crisis, and cultural transformation but also the effects of the city on the individual consciousness.
