Description
When I'm Gone, Look for Me in the East is a luminous novel that spans a vast and windswept landscape, as two estranged brothers embark on a journey of duty and conflict. Chuluun, a young monk, and his identical twin, Mun, set out across Mongolia to find the reincarnation of a great lama, a spiritual teacher who may have been born anywhere in the vast landscape.
As they travel through their homeland, from the western Altai mountains to the eerie starkness of the Gobi Desert, the twins' relationship is tested by their shared ability to hear each other's thoughts. Along the way, they grapple with questions of faith, love, and brotherhood, and confront the idea that their lives may be shaped by forces beyond their control.
This stunningly far-flung novel is a meditation on the individual struggle to retain one's convictions and discover meaning in a fast-changing world, as the twins navigate the complexities of their own identities and the cultural landscape of Mongolia.
