Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. 172 pages. Cover worn. A collection of six unforgettable stor ies from Nobel laureate Gao Xingjian. Dealing with Gao's trademar k themes of relationships, family, the political scene in China a nd exploration of the self, these stories are by turns moving, be autiful and thought-provoking. With the exception of 'In an Insta nt', all the stories were written in China in the early 1980s and published in Chinese in a collection called Gei wo laoye mai yug an (Buying a Fishing Rod for My Grandfather) by Lianhe Press in t aipei 1989. 'In an Instant' was written in Paris in October 1990 but not published until 1996 in the collection Zhoumo sichongzhou , after Soul Mountain had been published in early 1990. this is t he perfect first taste of the work of Gao Xingjian - short, sweet and highly accessible - something for those who have heard about the author but are unsure where to start.

First Edition Signed
First American edition of the author's first collection of short stories published in English. Octavo, original boards. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "Pour ____ ____ Gao Xingjian Paris le 20 Octobre 2006." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich. Translated from the Chinese by Mabel Lee. These six stories by Nobel Prize winner Gao Xingjian transport the reader to moments where the fragility of love and life, and the haunting power of memory, are beautifully unveiled. In "The Temple," the narrator's acute and mysterious anxiety overshadows the delirious happiness of an outing with his new wife on their honeymoon. In "The Cramp," a man narrowly escapes drowning in the sea, only to find that no one even noticed his absence. In the titlestory, the narrator attempts to relieve his homesickness only to find that he is lost in a labyrinth of childhood memories. â[Gaoâs] narrators walk as if in a dream through a private landscape of memory and sensationâ (Boston Globe).
