He reminisced the times when he had lent young Bhattarai books of the Bronte sisters, Jane Austen, Guy de Maupassant and later Kafka. Addressing the crowd present, he also said, “The public release of a book is a happy occasion for both the writer and the readers. ‘Chapters’ is a collection of simple stories based on simple human values.”
Stating that the stories are well written, he went on to say that if good short stories are really meant to be read in a single setting then the anthology is definitely a good one.
