Fineprint Books is organizing the Kathmandu edition of the traveling literary festival Fineprint Fever on Saturday, 5th Poush, at the Nepal Academy of Sciences. The festival, which started in Chitwan last October, has reached Kathmandu via Pokhara, Surkhet, Nepalgunj and Dang.
The festival, which will feature Samrat Upadhyay, Neelam Karki Niharika, Amar Neupane, Nayanraj Pandey, Niranjan Kunwar, Sneha Pradhan and Keshav Dahal, will have four sessions.
In the first session, Madan Puraskar-winning author Neelam Karki Niharika and political commentator Keshav Dahal, author of books including Mokshabhoomi, will discuss “History in Fiction”.
In the second session, publisher and festival director Monita Gurung will have a dialogue with Sneha Pradhan, author of the first-ever graphic comic published in the UK, Yelp! Yeti! Chaos in Kathmandu, focusing on the book.
In the third session, Madan Puraskar-winning Amar Neupane, short story writer Nayanraj Pandey and writer-translator Niranjan Kunwar will discuss “What is the difference between language and emotion” with writer Alpha Shakya. The discussion is organized in the context of the publication of the English translation of Seto Dharti and Sallipir at Fineprint Fever.
In the fourth session, entrepreneur and photographer Riva Thapa will talk about Nepali-American author Samrat Upadhyay's new 'dystopian' novel Darkmotherland. The session will also include the release of the Nepali version of the novel published by Soho Press in the US.
Fineprint Fever is being organized with the aim of 'celebrating' Fineprint authors and books and making the book market dynamic, says its creator Neeraj Bhari. The 2082 BS Fineprint Fever will end in Dhangadhi westwards via Itahari and Birtamod after Kathmandu.
The Kathmandu edition of Fineprint Fever, which will run from 1 pm to 5 pm, will feature the release of four books, a book signing program with authors, and a book exhibition with special discounts.
