Buddhi Sagar’s KARNALI BLUES To Be Translated Into English

Nepali author Buddhi Sagar’s popular book KARNALI BLUES will soon be translated in English. The Nepali book by Sagar follows the tale of a mischievous young boy through the different stages of his life. Chronicled on his relationship with his parents, the novel is a coming of age tale set in Matera of Kailali District before moving to other villages. The author was also born in the district. The author shared a photo alongside Michael Hutt, a well known Professor of Nepali and Himalayan Studies at the School of Oriental And African Studies and shared the caption “कर्नाली ब्लुज अंग्रेजीमा छ कि छैन? प्रश्न धेरै सुनेँ। बल्ल उत्तर पाएँ- केही समयमा अंग्रेजीमा पनि हुने छ। प्रोफेसर माइकल हटले अनुबाद गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ। खुशीको खबर।”

I recently completed reading the book and I am sure those that enjoy novels will enjoy Karnali Blues too. If of course you are like myself and find it easier to read in English then I guess you’ll be delighted with the news of this translation. Then again, reading in Nepali is always a great way to improve your reading. Keep reading 🙂
