Stick out your tongue

When this book was published in Chinese in 1997, the government accused Ma Jian of "harming the fraternal solidarity of the national minorities," and a blanket ban was placed on his future work. With its publication in English, including a new Afterword by the author that sets the book in its personal and political context, readers get a rare glimpse of Tibet through Chinese eyes.

  • "By the author of the acclaimed Red Dust, Stick Out Your Tongue was famously banned in China in 1987 and was the book that set Ma Jian on the road to exile. Written shortly after the journey to Tibet he describes in Red Dust, it is an extraordinary collection of stories about Tibet - a picture of Tibet that is both enchanting and horrifying, violent and beautiful, perverse and seductive. 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 meets a silversmith who has hung the wind dried corpse of his lover to the walls of his cave. In the thin air of the high plateau, the divide between fact and fiction becomes confused and the man is drawn deep into an alien culture which haunts his dreams."
