Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the same circling, ruminative vein as his Nobel Prize-winning debut novel "Soul Mountain," Chinese expatriate Xingjian's fictionalized memoir of his youth is an attempt to capture the Kafkaesque anxieties of the Cultural Revolution.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>One Man's Bible</em> is a fictionalized account of Gao Xingjian's life under the Chinese Communist regime. Daily life is riddled with paranoia and fear, and government propaganda turns citizens against one another. It is a place where a single sentence spoken ten years earlier can make one an enemy of the state.</p><p>But <em>One Man's Bible</em> is also a profound meditation on the essence of writing, on exile, on the effects of political oppression on the human spirit, and on how the human spirit can triumph.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Gao] paints a stark, unforgiving picture of the results of Mao's regime and of the Cultural Revolution."--<em>Denver Post</em><br><br>"Dreamlike .... elegant and haunting."--<em>Boston Globe</em><br><br>"Unforgettable ... One Man's Bible burns with a powerfully individualistic fire of intelligence and depth of feeling."--<em>New York Times</em><br><br>"A remarkable achievement."--Christian Science Monitor<br><br>"Conveys that profound sense of dislocation human beings can sometimes feel, when looks back on one's own life."--Baltimore Sun<br><br>"Perhaps the most powerful thing Gao has ever written."--New York Review of Books<br><br>"450 brilliant pages of reflection, self-reflection and redemption."--Ruminator Review<br>
