Description
Stick Out Your Tongue by Jian Ma A writer's marriage has ended, and he travels to Tibet in search of solace. Instead, he finds himself immersed in an alien culture that challenges his perceptions. As he wanders through the countryside, he witnesses a sky burial, shares a tent with a nomad seeking forgiveness, and encounters a silversmith haunted by his past. In this thin air, fact and fiction blur, and the writer's own demons are stirred. The stories he hears and experiences leave an indelible mark on his dreams. This powerful and haunting novel explores the complexities of human experience in a culture both familiar and unknown. Banned in China in 1987, Stick Out Your Tongue is a deeply personal and thought-provoking work that has had a profound impact on its author's life.
