Balloon

About This Novel

This book contains ten short stories with Wanma Caidan's personal style. It was published from 1995 to 2017, spanning more than 20 years. Two of them, "Tallow" and "Balloon", were adapted into movies of the same name, and won outstanding results in many domestic and foreign film awards such as the Venice Film Festival and Shanghai International Film Festival. On a night when the moon is round and big, the banging sound coming from the Mani stone pile is like a wordless life song; a stranger comes to the town and is persistently looking for a girl named Dolma; when he was seven years old, Kayang Tenzin was tempted by the scriptures, and this obsession led to reincarnation; Aung Ben, a young man who was about to have a happy event, encountered a daytime wandering in the afternoon... The life in remote Tibetan areas is mysteriously veiled in Wanma Tseden's novel. The writer's long-lasting and passionate gaze on his hometown has turned into fable-like stories that fall into every corner of his daily life.
