«Una canna da pesca per mio nonno» is the short story collection by Chinese writer Gao Xingjian, published by Rizzoli in hardcover (138 pages, in Italian).
The stories start from everyday scenes, such as a couple visiting a ruined temple, a traffic accident, a conversation in a park, or buying a fishing rod, to delve into memory, dream, and reflection. The prose, lyrical and precise, fuses the Chinese tradition with echoes of twentieth-century European narrative and theatre.
Italian translation by Alessandra Lavagnino; the Chinese original dates from 1989. Rizzoli began with this volume the publication of the author's complete works, Nobel Prize in Literature in 2000.
For readers of short stories and those interested in contemporary Chinese literature.
