The event is hosted by SOAS Library and will take place at the Khahili Lecture Theatre at SOAS.About the book: "Ocean, as Much as Rain" presents for the first time in the English-language world a collection of masterfully translated literary writings by prominent Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser. In these stories, lyrical essays, and poetry, Woeser interweaves texts, photographs, silences, and documentary details. Featuring a distinctively imaginative use of satire and digressive rhetoric, Woeser’s stories bring to life Tibetan characters whose lives are entwined with politics, history, and religion. Woeser illuminates the ruins and places that she has come across during her various sojourns in Chinese-ruled Tibet, reviving sites from the past of her parents and their generation. These writings range from ingenious retellings of cultural encounters and confrontation to insightful commentaries on ecological issues and tourism in Tibet that never shun contradictions, dilemmas, or questions about the future. With an introduction by Fiona Sze-Lorrain and an author interview by editors-translators Sze-Lorrain and Dechen Pemba, "Ocean, as Much as Rain" is a landmark publication that celebrates the work of a steadfast dissident and a leading Tibetan literary figure of our times.To purchase a book in advance of the event, please visit: https://mngbookshop.co.uk/9781478033110/ocean-as-much-as-rain/About the team:Tsering Woeser* is a Tibetan writer, poet, activist, and the author of numerous books of poetry and prose.Fiona Sze-Lorrain is a writer, poet, translator, and the author of, most recently, Dear Chrysanthemums: A Novel in Stories.Dechen Pemba is the editor of High Peaks Pure Earth.Jemimah Steinfeld is CEO of Index on Censorship.*Please note, Tsering Woeser is denied a passport by China and will not be present at the book launch.*
