Kathmandruids Monomyths & Meanymyths : an 'everything' Novel in Double Helix

Kathmandruids Monomyths & Meanymyths is an ambitious and complex novel that attempts to capture the entire tapestry of Kathmandu's history, culture, and people within a single volume. Structured into twenty parts and featuring five distinct Nepal Mandalas—polemical writings on the nation’s past—the book invites deep engagement from its readers, promising an immersive journey through time. The narrative structure draws profound influence from Joseph Campbell's concept of the monomyth: the archetypal hero's circular journey. Through this lens, the novel follows a classic heroic arc—an adventure fraught with decisive disasters, culminating in victory and transformation upon returning home. The book masterfully weaves together grand historical scope with intimate personal mythologies. It is an epic literary undertaking that not only chronicles the evolution of Nepal but also explores the universal human experience through the lens of myth-making. Readers are prepared for a richly detailed, multifaceted narrative that demands active participation, offering a profound meditation on identity, destiny, and the enduring spirit of a civilization.
