After the success of the Palpasa Café, its publisher nepa-laya is planning to publish its second book.

A press statement issued by nepa-laya said, “It will be different from journalist Narayan Wagle’s work of fiction that has sold record copies. This time nepa-laya is publishing a non-fiction pictorial book.”

“It will be a visual account of Nepal’s decade of conflict,” the statement quoted journalist and editor Kunda Dixit who conceptualised the book of photographs.

Nepa-laya has already called for entries from photographers through public notices.

“We appeal to all those who have captured images of conflict, you needn’t be a professional photographer or a professional photojournalist,” says Kiran Krishna Shrestha, team leader of nepa-laya.

“It will certainly be a challenge to select pictures from all the entries, but with help of two other international jury members, I am confident we will have a representative and high-quality selection,” Dixit said.

The launch of the book in September by nepa-laya will coincide with an exhibition of selected entries by photographers.
