Kul Chandra Gautam’s book, Lost in Transition: Rebuilding Nepal from the Maoist Mayhem and Mega Earthquake, has made its third print run within a month of its release. Since the book was released on December 12, Gautam has been invited to give talks in various forums within Nepal and abroad.

Gautam is  currently in India where he will be sharing a forum at the India International Centre on  Tuesday with Indian Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor and India’s former Ambassador to Nepal Rakesh Sood. Siddharth Mallavarapu, Associate Professor at the New Delhi-based South Asian University, will moderate the discussion.

Gautam is also scheduled to participate in a discussion at the Jaipur Literature Festival on January 25. Indian Journalist Bharat Bhusan will moderate a discussion titled Lost in Transition: The Nepal Narrative. He will share the panel with former Indian Ambassador to Nepal Jayant Prasad and Mallika Shakya, Associate Professor at the South Asian University.

Replete with personal anecdotes, Gautam’s book centres on the challenges—primarily economic and political—that Nepal faces and the measures that need to be taken up to rebuild the nation in the aftermath of the decade-long Maoist insurgency and protracted political transition, and the devastating April 2015 earthquake.
