A series of stories ranging from two-page narrative excerpts to 90+ page novellas, The Handsome Monk and Other Stories (Columbia University Press, 2019), translated by Columbia PhD student Christopher Peacock, with a contribution from Lauran Hartley, masterfully introduces the work of contemporary Tibetan author Tsering Döndrup. One of the most popular and critically acclaimed figures of Modern Tibetan literature of the post-Mao period, Tsering Döndrup is known for his earthy humor and his unflinchingly satirical portrayals of Tibetan life. Resisting the urge to romanticize Tibetan life, Tsering Döndrup’s stories relentlessly satirize both those in power—including clerics and government officials—and those without. Stories describe emergent social problems like gambling and long-standing folk institutions of violent feuds alike. The narratives compiled in The Handsome Monk could only be written by someone intimately familiar with Tibetan life over the last fifty years, and by placing many of his stories together, this volume evocatively portrays resilience and the problems of Tibetan culture.

Toni Morrison says "If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it." A recent story revealed the tragic news of a Columbia PhD student shot in the head and killed by his boyfriend. Domestic violence is often spoken about in the context of heterosexual relationships but research shows that domestic violence is also prevalent in the LBGTIA+ community. In this episode of the podcast, we review Chwayita Ngamlana's If I stay right here - which is a book about a lesbian relationship. This first of its kind. It is part fiction and part autobiographical. The book explores a number of themes such as heteronormativity, rape in relationships, toxic ideas of masculinity and many others themes. We recommend reading this important story.
