«El libro de un hombre solo» is the novel by Gao Xingjian published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (477 pages, in Spanish).
The narrator, an exiled Chinese writer, recalls his youth in China during the Cultural Revolution, where constant suspicion forced any dissent to be hidden. The reappearance of a woman he knew in his final years in the country, during a trip to Hong Kong, triggers this exercise in memory and a review of his own identity.
Published in 2002, with translation by Xin Fei and José Luis Sánchez and an epilogue by Liu Zaifu. Original title: Yī gè rén de shèngjīng.
For readers of contemporary fiction and Chinese literature interested in novels with a historical and political backdrop.
