Publisher's Note
Sweeping changes begin to transform 1930s pre-occupation Tibet as members of the powerful and wealthy Maiqi family accept modern weapons from the Chinese Nationalists to escalate a feud with a neighboring chieftan, in exchange for growing fields of poppies that will assist the Nationalist-backed heroin trade.

Industry Reviews
"A compelling portrait of an unfamiliar place on the cusp of modernity: a promising new writer."
Kirkus Reviews (01/01/2002)

"Although RED POPPIES would have benefited enormously from some tough editing that might have removed some of the narrative's longueurs and repetitions, Alai has succeeded in creating a persuasive fictional world and populating it with brightly drawn men and women. He has...created a historical novel that's panoramic and intimate at the same time."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (04/19/2002)
