Souls buried underneath the Tibetan sky
Leaving behind his failed marriage in Beijing, disillusioned academic Wang Mojie seeks meaning in Lhasa, Tibet. Instead, he finds Ukyi Lhamo. The soul of every party, she hides an inner rootlessness as she searches for her grandmother, the key to her lost heritage. As Wang Mojie’s perversions resurface, can they bond over what they mutually lack?
Wang Mojie’s dreams wilted in the Beijing heat. Leaving his failed marriage behind, he seeks meaning in Lhasa. Instead, he finds Ukyi Lhamo. The soul of every party, her studied Parisian charms hide an inner rootlessness as she searches for her grandmother, the key to her lost Tibetan heritage.
Crossing paths among a gathering of self-exiled intellectuals living among the cool mountains, the two find themselves on the sidelines of a fierce philosophical debate. However, as Wang Mojie’s masochistic fantasies resurface, can they cling to what they mutually lack? Or was it never possible to make peace with zero?
"Experimental, ambitious" - WIRED
"Sardonic and erudite, it’s the only major literary treatment of Sino-Tibetan relations to appear in English in decades."\ - Andrew Rule, The Spectatator
"At its heart …, this is a novel that contrasts alternative ways of being: the rigour of French philosophy duels with ancient Tibetan spirituality" - Rónán Hession, The Irish Times
