Arresting God in Kathmandu is the debut book by Nepali-American author Samrat Upadhyay. It is a collection of nine short stories that provide a glimpse into everyday life in Kathmandu, Nepal. Published in 2001, Arresting God in Kathmandu was awarded the Whiting Writers' Award for fiction. The book marks the first time a Nepali writer writing in English has been published in the West.
Publishers Weekly calls Upadhyay's writing "assured and simple", concluding that "Upadhyay anchors small yet potent epiphanies in a place called Kathmandu, and quietly calls it home." On the other hand, Kirkus Reviews called the book a collection of "diverting if sometimes lukewarm tales."
