Xingjian, Gao; Lee, Mabel (translation from Chinese) Buying A Fishing Rod For My Grandfather: Stories
New York, New York, U.S.A. Perennial 2005 0060575565 / 9780060575564 Trade Paperback Fine
Fine condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 127 pages. Synopsis 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 title story, the narrator attempts to relieve his homesickness only to find that he is lost in a labyrinth of childhood memories. Everywhere in this collection are powerful psychological portraits of characters whose unarticulated hopes and fears betray the never-ending presence of the past in their present lives. Biography Esteemed Chinese novelist, dramatist, director, critic, and artist, Gao Xingjian was honored with the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2000. His controversial plays blend ancient Chinese dramatic traditions with modern Western influences, and they have been banned in China.

Xingjian, Gao; Lee, Mabel Soul Mountain
Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. HarperCollins 2000 0066210828 / 9780066210827 First American Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine
Very-nice copy - Stated First American Edition - Price inside dustcover: $27.00 - Purple boards with gold lettering (gilt) - NO remainder marks or price clippings - NO writing or tears inside book - 510 pages - Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature - In 1983 Chinese playwright, critic, fiction writer and painter Gao Xingjian was diagnosed with lung cancer and faced imminent death. But six weeks later, a second examination revealed there was no cancer--he had won "a reprieve from death" and had been thrown back into the world of the living. Faced with a repressive cultural environment and the threat of a spell on a prison farm, Gao fled Beijing. He traveled to the remote mountains and ancient forests of central China and from there back to the east coast, a journey of fifteen thousand kilometers over a period of five months. The result of this epic voyage of discovery was Soul Mountain. A bold, lyrical, prodigious novel, Soul Mountain probes the human soul with an uncommon directness and candor. Interwoven with a myriad of stories and countless memorable characters--from venerable Taoist masters and Buddhist nuns to mythical Wild Men, deadly Qichun snakes and farting buses--is the narrator's poignant inner journey and search for freedom.
