One Man's Bible by Gao Xingjian

One Man's Bible by Gao Xingjian

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.

Gao Xingjian is the 2000 Nobel Laureate in Literature, the first time the prize had been awarded for a body of works written in Chinese.

Gilbert C. F. Fong is a professor in the Department of Translation, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and heads several research projects, including the history of Hong Kong drama, movie and television subtitling, Gao Xingjian, and translated drama. An acclaimed translator, he translated many plays by Gao Xingjian, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Literature, into English. He also translated into Chinese Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, Jean Genet's Haute Surveillance, Dale Wasserman's Man of La Mancha, and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.
