The book isn’t due out for months, but the controversy has already begun. I’ve heard that members of the Bhutanese community are unhappy about the book as described on Amazon. As the first book to portray Bhutan as more than a simple Shangri-La, I expect some backlash from officials, but I don’t wish to upset my Bhutanese friends or the general population. Unfortunately, it took this news to make me put aside my excitement about having my book on Amazon, and when I looked properly, I realised that the description provided was purely negative.
Let me take this chance to humbly apologise to the Bhutanese community for the description and promise that it will be updated to better reflect the balanced nature of the book.
