"An electrifying, revelatory experience. In it, we learn much about the
lives of Tibetan tribal groups that cannot be found in any academic
treatise." Victor H. Mair, Professor, University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia

 
"A rare insight into an intriguing world of violence and compassion that
has all but disappeared." Fernanda Pirie, Oxford University
 
"A treasure. A window to the past and present of a dynamic Tibetan
culture. A story full of life flowing with harsh reality and vivid
imagination." Douglas Duckworth, Florida State University

 
"Ethnographic and immediate, Guru's novel brings readers into a world of
Eastern Tibetans generations ago. The spell-binding chain of events echoes
the dynamics of traditional heroic epic and folktale." Mark Bender, The
Ohio State University

 
Sincerely,

The Editors
