La.lit’s seventh volume up for release

Kathmandu / Nov 18: The seventh volume of La.lit, one of the handful literary magazines published out of Nepal, will be launched amid a programme at Jawalakhel Ground in Lalitpur on Friday, November 18. As part of Planet Nepal, a festival concerning arts and the environment, the launch will see editor and publisher Kunda Dixit as a speaker.

The upcoming volume of La.lit, according to the magazine’s editorial team, will be an exploratory anthology of environmental narratives that feature authors from the United States, the United Kingdom and Nepal. The anthology will also feature narratives by authors who have chosen Nepal as their subject.

“In bringing together Volume 7 of La.Lit, we hope that we have contributed in some measure towards a rejuvenated, homegrown environmentalism, and we look forward to fruitful debate on that front,” states a statement issued by La.lit’s editorial team on Thursday.

The event will kick off at 5 pm. Source: The Kathmandu Post
