अमेरिकालाई सपनाको देश देखेर नेपाल छाड्नेहरू प्रकारान्तरले नेपाललाई नै स्वप्नभूमि देख्न थाल्छन् भन्ने भावमा सिर्जित यो उपन्यास चलायमान प्रवासी नेपालीहरूको मनस्थितिको सुन्दर चित्रण हो । यो सपना खोज्न विदेशिने युवा र तिनका अभिभावक तथा आफन्तजनले पढ्नैपर्ने कृति बनेको छ । डा. राम्जी तिमल्सिना उदीयमान उपन्यासकार तुलसी आचार्य आप्रवासनको अलिनो अनुभवलाई आख्यानको कलेवर दिन सफल छन् । यसको विषय र प्रस्तुति कति कौतुकमय छ भने पाठकले कतै पनि थकाई मार्न पाउँदैन । विदेशको वैभव देखेर असली नेपाली मन कत्ति पनि विचलित हुँदैन भन्ने सत्यघोष गर्नु यसको अभिप्राय हो । 'स्वप्नभूमि' मा यथार्थ र आदर्श अनि आख्यान र गैरआख्यान जम्काभेट भइरहन्छ । राजकुमार बानियाँ

"These are the poems oozed out of the poet's experience and perception looking at people and the world around him. Most of the poems are on the theme of love, life, and liberty."

This book explores gender, disability and literature in the Global South concentrating on Nepal in particular. Religious and cultural values disable women's autonomy in general, and create even greater disadvantages for women who are physically disabled. This study examines two Nepali women writers Bishnu Kumari Waiwa and Jhamak Ghimire who challenge stigmas of the disabled body by deconstructing the "ideology of ability" through their autobiographical narratives. They do this by celebrating sexuality and disability as sources of creativity, agency, and identity in narratives that deconstruct cultural or social models of sexuality, motherhood, and beauty. In this thesis feminist disability and feminist theory guide an analysis of Waiwa and Ghimire's writing to advance our understanding of gender, culture, disability and literature in the Global South.
