Pema Tseden – författare

Short stories that reflect the complexities of contemporary Tibetan life, written by Tibetan filmmaker Pema Tseden.Enticement marks the English-language debut of prominent Tibetan writer and filmmaker Pema Tseden. This collection gathers together his most relevant and influential short stories, including "Tharlo," which he adapted into an award-winning and internationally acclaimed film in 2015. Written originally in the Chinese and Tibetan languages, these stories make use of a variety of literary styles and sources, ranging from traditional Tibetan oral tales to magical realism, surrealism, and the theater of the absurd. They humanize the Tibetan experience by stepping away from patronizing, mystic, or idealized visions of Tibet to speak with empathy and humor about the real challenges faced by Tibetans in the age of globalization.

The Fragrance of Pine Wood är Pema Tsedens postuma novellsamling och samlar hans sista opublicerade berättelse tillsammans med andra centrala verk från hans karriär. Redigerad av hans son Jiumei Chenglie, fångar boken Pema Tsedens poetiska blick, medkänsla och djupa koppling till det tibetanska livet – en varaktig hyllning till en berättare vars konst blommar som en “lotus i det rena landet.”
