A fishing rod for my grandpa

Childhood memories, the simple joys of love and friendship, one's homeland and its familiar places, but also the dramas of the street or the tragedies experienced by China - these are the themes of these six short stories chosen by the author.
With immense talent, Gao Xingjian plays with these images and, through his writing, effortlessly draws us into his most intimate dreams – whether they are those of the little boy who became an adult, a newlywed young man lost in love, or a swimmer risking his life… Smiles and tears accompany this reading, leaving us with the beautiful and gentle taste of emotion.
