Books

Palpasa Cafe was Wagle's first book, published in Nepali in 2005, and subsequently translated into English, Korean and French. It tells the story of an artist, Drishya, who goes trekking into the Nepali countryside in the midst of the Nepalese Civil War. It was a best seller and was acclaimed for bringing the realities of the Nepalese Civil War to the public in a way journalism had failed to.[3]

Mayur Times was Wagle's second book, published in Nepali in 2010. It also has themes dealing with the Nepali Civil War but is set after the war. It is a fictional narration of how journalists are caught in the crossfire, written from the perspective of a small-town newspaper in the terai region of Nepal. Like its predecessor, Mayur Times sold moderately in Nepal[4] but met with mixed reviews.
