*Shiva Kumar Rai
Born – 1919
Winner – Sahitya Academy Award – Nepali, 1978 for Khaharey (Short stories)
He is profiled as:
Encyclopedia of Indian Literature (Various)
Shiva Kumar Rai defies any attempt to pigeon-hole him. His four collections show him as a master of story telling – and very diverse kinds of stories at that. His collection Frontier remains uncontested in popularity, but he feels that his collection Yatri contains his best stories. The happy use of the Nepali language in the stories – the chaste Nepali language intertwined with the other elements of the story and becoming one with them – has ever been his hallmark.
Modern Indian Literature, and Anthology by K.M. George
Shiva Kumar Rai (b. 1919), who was given the Sahitya Akademi award in 1978, has to his credit some novels and several short stories. He tells stories for the sake of telling them and tells them interestingly, and is a master in the use of pure and common Nepali words. Rai’s narrations have a great deal of charm and flavour. The story featured here, Machhako Mol (The Price of Fish), is a simple story about a fisherman who catches fish in a hill-stream and earns his livelihood. he pays the price of fish with his life when the stream becomes torrential due to rainfall in the upper ridges and sweeps him away. The simple story is narrated with great skill.
A tale about a man and his brush with reality in the New Nepal in rich audio format.
