A new literary work by former prime minister and former chief justice Sushila Karki titled ‘Mitty and the Wild Cat’ was launched on Saturday at the Army Officers Club.

The author wrote the book during one of the most challenging phases of her leadership of the country’s interim government. The nation was gripped by uncertainty following the Gen Z Movement, which led to the fall of the then-government and the formation of an interim administration. Amid the political turbulence, she crafted this literary work with child psychology at its core.

Dedicated to the author’s grandson, the book conveys messages of love, hope, and positivity. Through the interactions between birds and animals, the novel explores themes of empathy, cooperation, affection, and mutual interdependence.

Sushila Karki is the author of two widely read Nepali works—’Nyaya’ (a memoir) and ‘Kara’ (a novel).

The 168-page book is priced at Rs556.
