Description In Pursuance Of Books Palpasa Café
Felicitated by Madan Purashkar in the year 2005, Palpasa Cafe, a novel by Narayan Wagle, is one stop for readers of all kinds and ages. The editor of Kantipur Daily, Wagle's novel is set during the 10-year-long Maoists insurgency in Nepal.Opening on the nameless character referred only as 'I' is an artist and is on the verge of earning prominence with his undaunted skills in art. Few causal yet co-incidental meetings with Palpasa develops into strong feelings between the two. No, this isn't a romantic novel for the emotion is dealt with on a more platonic level here.
The story progresses ahead with unexpected twists and turns, and series of co-incidences. Though the scenes appear simple, they bear many marvel points that touch. The book has its share of message and visions for a youthful living along with the suffering we had to go through in the hands of the Maoist and the then government.

Palpasa Cafe by Narayan Wagle What do I think of this book? This book was definitely better than what I had expected. I have only had limited experience reading books written by Nepalese author, and I think I wasn't keeping my hopes high from the very start just to avoid disappointment. One thing that stood out to me was reading about the decade long Maoist revolution in Nepal and how it impacted the people. The stories and the impact of the revolution felt realistic which made me think thati really loved this book!! at first i wasn't sure but by the end of this book i found myself hanging to each and every word of it. the main thing that i liked about this book is that it shows the life of the people from the aftermath of the war..their feelings their fears and all the things that they have to deal with. it shows that side of the story that i may not have known if not reading this book.
I've read books of all kinds. Romantic novels. Books on war. Thrillers. I've read books where the protagonist was a singer or a soldier or a woman in a war-torn country.

I think this book has three main parts: the civil war, Drishya's inner world as an artist and his love story. The author pictures the problems at the country side during the civil war impressively. The characters that Drishya meets on the trail stick to mind and I'm sure I won't forget them. The painting descriptions, color theories and the artist's emotions and feelings are fabulous. Drishya's personality is attractive and I wanted to know more about his thoughts and perspectives.Unlike the
