ज्याक्सन हाइट [Jackson Height]

by Mahesh Bikram Shah, महेशविक्रम शाह

नेपाली आख्यान साहित्यको कथा क्षेत्रमा अविचल उभिएका महेशविक्रम शाहका कथामा नेपाली सामाजिक–सांस्कृतिक चित्र, आञ्चलिक स्वाद, ग्रामीण द्वन्द्वको घाउ झल्किन्छ । सटाहा सङ्ग्रहमार्फत नेपाली कथासाहित्यमा उदाएका शाहका सिपाहीकी स्वास्नी, अफ्रिकन अमिगो, छापामारको छोरो र काठमाडौंमा कामरेड कथासङ्ग्रहमा नेपाली माटो तथा विदेशी पृष्ठभूमिका कथाहरु समेटिएका छन् । तर उनको छैटौं कथासङ्ग्रह ज्याक्सन हाइटले भने अलि फरक स्वाद दिएको छ पाठकलाई । सङ्ग्रहका सबै कथाको सिर्जनभूमि विदेशी परिवेश भए पनि नेपाली डायस्पोरामा आधारित उनका हरेक कथामा कुनै न कुनै रुपमा नेपाली मनका दुःख, वेदना र पीडाहरु समेटिएका छन् । ज्याक्सन हाइटमार्फत विदेशमा रहेका नेपालीको धुकधुकी छाम्न पुगेका शाहले नेपाली मन र विदेशी पृष्ठभूमिलाई राम्ररी सम्बोधन गरेका छन् ।

The First few stories really got me. When i kept going ahead, i felt the stories kept loosing their essence. It was okay book overall.

[Saurav Rajbhandari · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked a few stories, a few were difficult to read. Most stories deal with sexual fantasies and one or two take it to the next level.

Two stars.

Only some of the selected stories are good. Not all of them are as satisfying as I had expected them to be. But overall the book is good.

सोचाइ र भोगाइको भिन्नतामा देखाइय को नेपालीहरु को बिदेशको सपना । समाजिक येथाथ चित्रण गरिएको साधारण मानिसहरु को काथा ।
