04 Aug / Buying a Fishing Rod for My Grandfather: Stories by Gao Xing Jian, translated by Mabel Lee [in AsianWeek]

Buying a Rishing Rod for My GrandfatherThis slim volume of short stories by Nobel Prize Winner Gao, does not offer linear tales with pithy morals. Instead, it’s an elliptical collection of thoughts, perceptions, and memories, melded together to create a small but dazzling mosaic of lingering images.

Review: “New and Notable Books,” AsianWeek, August 4, 2005

Readers: Adult

Published: 2005 (United States)
