Reviews
Positioned along the knife edge of Tibet and China, secularity and religion, modernity and tradition, Tsering Döndrup's exuberantly irreverent stories (expertly translated from the Tibetan by Christopher Peacock) will strike many English-language readers as both uncannily familiar and deliciously odd., Tsering 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., Tsering Döndrup is a major writer for our times, and anyone who cares about Tibet or storytelling should embrace this collection wholeheartedly., The Handsome Monk is an excellent collection, with the mix of short pieces and longer, more involved stories working well., 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., Translated by Christopher Peacock, the stories in The Handsome Monk depict the lives of Tibetans under two supervising authorities: the Communist Party, which dictates their day-to-day subsistence, and the Buddhist deities who control their fortunes in the afterlife. Traditional nomadism has given way to a more precarious form of drifting., 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., The Handsome Monk does give a good sense of especially rural contemporary Tibetan life, and some fascinating glimpses of still fundamental aspects of it., Positioned along the knife-edge of Tibet and China, secularity and religion, modernity and tradition, Tsering Döndrup's exuberantly irreverent stories (expertly translated from the Tibetan by Christopher Peacock) will strike many English-language readers as both uncannily familiar and deliciously odd.

Books new and shipped to me aa a set!
That's great and unexpected!
Bubble envelope package is poor. No additnl’ internal protections for books and the bubble envelope was barely sealed!
Very poor shippg method for going any appreciable distances through mail system.
Books arrive in new, pristine conditn, despite poor shippg package.
Partial refund terrific!
I purchased a duplicate set from Amazon, that I purchased slightly cheaper, that came better packaged in a durable, heavy book shipper!
