Translated from the Chinese by Mabel Lee
Being the first ever winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in China, Gao Xingjian has composed a list of short stories that have never been published before in English - until now.
Anyone who has ever read his other novels will like to see how he tackles short stories, and each one is about a moment in time; a honeymoon couple going to a temple, a swimmer experiences difficulties while out enjoying the waves, and a man remembers his times with his grandfather when he used to make fishing rods from bamboo sticks. Back then times were simpler.
