Under the Blue Skies | Blackneck Books

Under the Blue Skies, a Tibetan Reader offers much more to the first-time reader of Tibetan anglophone literature than to those familiar with Tibetan writings. The writings span decades, and the inclusion of fresher elements deny the essentialization of the Tibetan experience into one coherent, digestible mass.  At certain places, the inclusion of chapters from novels or lengthier works within the collection feel incomplete and incongruous, especially considering their inclusion alongside short stories. The absence of page number reference in the index and slight oversights in editing intervene in the reading process. Despite the numerous challenges involved in publication, this anthology from Blackneck Books raises pertinent questions that are bound to affect those who are concerned about the future of the Tibetan diaspora.
