Bones of the Master - A Journey into Secret Mongolia |
American poet Crane accompanies Tsung Tsai, a Chinese monk in exile, to Inner Mongolia to give the bones of Tsung Tsai's master a proper burial, forty years after his death. The story of this often hair-raising pilgimage/quest is utterly compelling as an account of both a physical and an emotional journey. Crane writes beautifully, with sensitivity, restraint and deep respect and affection for Tsung Tsai and the land he came from. (Annabel Bedini - bwl 30 June 2005) |
