I think readers who have been following my postings
on writing on this GBNC Web site know that I did
NOT invoke Joyce, Rushdie FIRST.
I mentioned Joyce and Faulkner IN PASSING without
talking about them at length.
I started by saying: Simple, clear, forceful
language is needed.
I gave examples from America: Krugman, McPhee and
others.
When I was asked to give examples from Nepal,
Rupesh, Bikas and others came to my mind.
To sum up: There are MANY talented Nepalis,
America, Nepal and elsewhere, who have the
potential to write clearly, simply and
forcefully.
Such writing is NOT easy, but can be done. We need
to invest on debates, dialogues, conversations,
criticisms and feedbacks so that many of us, assuming
we are interested can contribute to public debates
with smplicity, clarity and forece of logic.
Thanks to Biswo and Gokul for their thoughts.
