Detalii produs

When Gao Xingjian was crowned Nobel Laureate in 2000, it was the first time in the hundred-year history of the Nobel Prize that this honor had been awarded to an author for a body of work written in Chinese. The same year, American readers embraced Mabel Lee''''s translation of Gao''''s lyrical and autobiographical novel Soul Mountain, making it a national best seller. Gao''''s plays, novels, and short fiction have won the Chinese expatriate an international following and a place among the world''''s greatest living writers. The bold and extraordinary essays in this volume embody an argument for literature as a universal human endeavor rather than one defined and limited by national boundaries. Gao believes in the need for the writer to stand apart from collective movements, regardless of whether these are engineered by political parties or driven by economic or other forces not related to literature. This collection presents Gao''''s innovative ideas on aesthetics, and it constitutes the very kernel of his thinking on literary creation.--Book jacket.
