The Tibetan Suitcase: A Novel

A well-known journalist, on a sabbatical after years of writing about the Asian financial crisis, was given a suitcase which belonged to a Tibetan writer. The journalist decides that the contents of the suitcase -- letters, stories, newspaper clippings, press releases, diaries, amongst others -- would make for an epistolary novel. The result is a funny, smart and intelligent novel about Tibet and its diaspora.
