Title: The Nun
Description: The Nun details the journey of a 10 year old girl in Nangchen, Tibet to a Buddhist convent following the deaths of her mother and father. The narrator goes on a pilgrimage around Mount Kailash until she reaches an Indian nunnery where she was able to stay and study Tibetan Literature, Tibetan Language, and traditional Buddhist texts. Following the deaths of her parents, the narrator was finally able to "feel good" after finding her place at the Indian nunnery. Printed on pale purple cardstock cut with outlines of mountains, the zine contains illustrations to accompany the text of the author's journey. --Grace Li
