hello all,

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in chatting about 'Gao Xingjian'
Today I bought 'one man's bible', it's a novel which gao xingjan wrote.

I know nothing about Gao Xingjan.

I could talk about him, but i'd be just stealing it all from his Wikipedia Entry

Sorry about that.

One Man's Bible conveys the life and death choices the narrator had to make every day during a period of extreme social turbulence.This book excels in communicating the tension between the desire to survive and thrive in society and a personal desire (in this case to keep writing)that is forbidden by "society". The narrator is certainly not a hero and does not judge what his happening around him.

I stole this from someone's amazon review.

The Bible approves of slavery, so I say no. Although I don't mind most of the ten commandments.
