Description

Gao Xingjian, the Nobel Laureate in Literature 2000, is a writer of many talents, being a novelist, playwright, stage director, painter, translator and critic at the same time. His novels, Soul Mountain and One Man's Bible, and his many later plays seek to rediscover the self in its original consciousness, which is translingual and transcultural.
