Summary

When this book was published in Chinese in 1997, the government accused Ma Jian of "harming the fraternal solidarity of the national minorities," and a blanket ban was placed on his future work. With its publication in English, including a new Afterword by the author that sets the book in its personal and political context, readers get a rare glimpse of Tibet through Chinese eyes.

Author Biography

Ma Jian is the author of Red Dust and The Noodle Maker. He lives in London.

Table of Contents

"Extraordinary . . . Ma Jian has burned through the fog of fantasy that clouds our vision of Tibet: He has shown us how poverty and political repression have deformed its once rich and vibrant culture."--Francine Prose, People
 
"These powerful pages . . . are hard to shake from one's memory and remain . . . testimony to the storytelling artistry of Ma Jian."--The Washington Post
 
"The people Ma Jian transfigures, the images of a Tibet where the living and the dead seem to mingle with beauty and unease, all this becomes quite a striking souvenir of our own high altitude pilgrimage through these exotic pages."--NPR's All Things Considered
