With its publication in English, readers get a rare glimpse of Tibet through Chinese eyes. In this profound work of fiction, a Chinese writer whose marriage has fallen apart travels to Tibet. As he wanders through the countryside, he witnesses the sky burial of a Tibetan woman who died during childbirth, shares a tent with a nomad who is walking to a sacred mountain to seek forgiveness for sleeping with his daughter, and hears the story of a young female lama who died during a Buddhist initiation rite. In stories both enchanting and horrifying, beautiful and macabre, seductive and perverse, \u003ci\u003eStick Out Your Tongue\u003c\/i\u003e offers a startlingly vivid portrait of Tibet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMa Jian\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eRed Dust \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Noodle Maker\u003c\/i\u003e.
