Silver Cascades anthologizes twenty short stories by Nepali writers, who laid the foundation of the modern short story in Nepali literature. Starting with Guru Prasad Mainali, the pioneer of the genre in Nepali literature, the collection runs up to Maya Thakuri, who is, at present, a living author. These stories showcase different turns and movements, from social realism to psychological realism, surrealism, fantasy, absurdity, feminism and children's concerns. This anthology will introduce the best of Nepali short stories to the international readers, and inform them of the nascent worldviews and philosophies that underscore Nepali imaginations.
