One Man's Bible Paperback - 2003
by Gao Xingjian
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.
Summary
First line
It was not that he didn't remember he once had another sort of life.
From the rear cover
One Man's Bible 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.
But One Man's Bible 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.
