Tsering Döndrup. The Handsome Monk and Other Stories
Translated by Christopher Peacock (2018)
“This volume makes accessible some of the new and exciting work in Tibetan literature from inside China. It will be of interest both to general readers and to scholars of Tibetan and Chinese literature.”
– Janet Gyatso, Harvard University
“Tséring Döndrup’s characters are steeped in the anxieties of modernity as they negotiate worlds secular and religious, hyper-real and fantastic. These short stories reflect sharp and highly critical Tibetan perspectives on the nature of life, love, family, truth, and self-identity. This collection is nothing short of a masterpiece.”
– Jann Ronis, University of California, Berkeley
