Eat the Buddha: Life and Death in a Tibetan Town

byBarbara Demick

Focused on life and Death in a Tibetan Town, Eat the Buddha brings Barbara Demick's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and social science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Eat the Buddha leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved.
