If anyone is coming to Nepal soon from abroad and doesn't mind doing me a small favor, I am looking to buy these four books. I will, of course, reimburse you for the book(s) and buy you a beer or three, or coffee and cake if you prefer, as a thank you.

Loved the quiet wisdom of Tribeny Rai's SHAPE OF MOMO, an introspective little Sikkimese drama (releases Friday) that critiques its own gaze and challenges the cinema of 'homecoming'.

Nepal’s forgotten cultural revolution
Nepal’s civil war ended two decades ago, but the reckoning with the Maoists’ destruction of heritage and culture has barely begun

The scholarship on Nepal’s civil war has grown considerably since the Comprehensive Peace Accord that ended it in 2006. But the insurgency’s destruction of cultural heritage remains largely unaccounted for.

In April 2002, Maoist forces set fire to the Dullu Durbar, a palace in Western Nepal. Two decades on, the Dullu Durbar exists primarily as a negative space: a wall, a museum of surviving objects established in the shell of what was burnt, and an absence so complete that most accounts of Nepal’s civil war simply do not mention it. This is an attempt to take that absence seriously, and to ask why the taking-seriously has taken so long: https://t.co/xL48zJVCon

As much as his supporters argue that he is working more and speaking less, his detractors maintain that he is hubristic... It might not be very long before Balen Shah finds himself hoisted by his own petard.
