...social stratification, Chettri's depiction is one that holds enduring relevance for many Nepalis. They are, of course, his intended readership, but that means that the local color Chettri paints with can sometimes be disorienting, if not frustratingly inaccessible, for a foreign reader. Certain domestic images are familiarly rustic - there are granaries and millstones, and whitewashed homes with butter churns, milk pails, earthen hearths and chaff-filled pillows.

...Dangerous Book were a place, it would look like the Falling Creek Camp for Boys in North Carolina--a rustic paradise complete with a rifle range, nearby mountains to climb and a lake complete with swimming dock and rope swing. The choice of activities at the camp is dizzying, from soccer to blacksmithing, from kayaking to watercolors, but no pastime is more popular than building forts of fallen tree limbs and poking at turtles in the creek.
