520    "Set in Aba, a town perched at 12,000 feet on the Tibetan 
       plateau in the far western reaches of China that has been 
       the engine of Tibetan resistance for decades, Eat the 
       Buddha tells the story of a nation through the lives of 
       ordinary people living in the throes of this conflict. 
       Award-winning journalist Barbara Demick illuminates a part
       of China and the aggressions of this superpower that have 
       been largely off limits to Westerners who have long 
       romanticized Tibetans as a deeply spiritual, peaceful 
       people. She tells a sweeping story that spans decades 
       through the lives of her subjects, among them a princess 
       whose family lost everything in the Cultural Revolution; a
       young student from a nomadic family who becomes 
       radicalized in the storied monastery of Kirta; an upwardly
       mobile shopkeeper who falls in love with a Chinese woman; 
       a poet and intellectual who risks everything to voice his 
       resistance. Demick paints a broad canvas through an 
       intimate view of these lives, depicting the tradition of 
       resistance that results in the shocking acts of self-
       immolation, the vibrant, enduring power of Tibetan 
       Buddhism, and the clash of modernity with ancient ways of 
       life. Her depiction is nuanced, unvarnished, and at times 
       shocking"--|cProvided by publisher.
