किताबको पहिलो भाग - फिक्सन- अतिनै मनपर्यो । दोश्रो भाग- नोन फिक्सन -खासै मनपरेन। अन्तिम भाग धेरै नै मनपर्यो। नगरकोटी जिउ ले हिन्दिमा कविता खुब मिठो लेख्नुहुदो रहेछ।
It’s a good read. बाँकि who cares? पुनश्च: अझै पनि मलाई नगरकोटीका किताब मध्ये अक्षरगञ्ज जत्तिको राम्रो कुनै पनि किताब लागेको छैन । मोक्षान्त: काठमाडौं फिवरले भ्रम तोडोस् भन्ने छ ।
Though I enjoyed his writing, I couldn't find the magic his writing could possibly achieve. In other words, I am disappointed that he he might have messed up his content while attempting to write in an unconventional style. Having said this, it hasn't escaped my attention that he is a writer with a very powerful pen - the kind of pen which can write what has never been written and which can light up the darkest corners of a reader's brain where the mundane literacy pieces could never pass some rays of consciousness.
I have been reading at least one book of nagarkoti each year for last few years. This book is like open random page read that chapter keep the book again open it after years and read another chapter. Each time I read I explore sth new. With age I am experiencing nagarkoti in new ways. Let’s see how this book will be next year to me!
जे लेख्नुस्, प्रयोग गर्नुस् तर कथावस्तुचाहिँ राख्नुस् । आत्मा नभएको लेखमा प्रयोग गर्नु भनेको आत्मा नभएको लासउपर प्रयोग गर्नु समान हो-- केही त सिकिएला तर ज्यान फर्काउन सकिँदैन । अनि प्रयोग पनि झिँजो लाग्छ ।
This being the first read of Nagarkoti for me, I find his way of writing pretty eccentric and beautiful, perhaps I find his indulgence of obscure words and lingos too amazing.
