About the author

Tsering Döndrup is one of modern Tibet’s most celebrated writers. His fiction has been translated into numerous languages, and he is the recipient of several literary awards—though none domestically since the release of this novel, which brought him intense scrutiny from the Chinese state. The Red Wind Howls remains his only major work not published in China.

Christopher Peacock is assistant professor of East Asian studies at Dickinson College. Among his translations are Tsering Döndrup’s The Handsome Monk and Other Stories (Columbia, 2019) and Tsering Yangkyi’s Flowers of Lhasa (2022).
