The renowned biography of the celebrated playwright, narrator, and poet Vijay Malla, written by Narendra Raj Prasai, will be published serially by Ratopati every Saturday starting this coming weekend. We begin this series with the preface of the book.

Vijay Malla is a versatile creator who followed the great literary tradition of Lekhnath Poudyal, Balkrishna Sama, and Laxmi Prasad Devkota in modern Nepali literature. Inspired by later figures like Gopal Prasad Rimal and Govinda Malla Gothale, the great creator Vijay Malla is a distinct talent, especially in the fields of drama and prose fiction. Particularly in Nepali drama, he is another towering figure who can be called the creative successor to the great playwright Balkrishna Sama. Narendra Raj Prasai has done a commendable job by writing the biography of Vijay Malla, who stands as such a great pillar of Nepali literature.
