One Man’s Bible by Gao Xingjian, translated by Mabel Lee [in AsianWeek]

One Man's BibleThe follow-up to Gao’s Nobel Prize-winning Soul Mountain. At the request of his naked, white German lover in the relative freedom of a Hong Kong hotel room in 1996, Gao’s fictionalized counterpart recounts a version of his life during the Cultural Revolution – the oppression, the fear, the propaganda, the hopelessness, the survival.
