«Une canne à pêche pour mon grand-père» is a collection of short stories by Gao Xingjian in paperback, published by Ed. de l'Aube (121 pages, in French).
The volume brings together six stories in which childhood memories intertwine with life in twentieth-century China: the simple joys of love and friendship, familiar places and the small tragedies of the street. A child turned adult, a newlywed hopelessly in love and a swimmer in danger are some of the voices running through these stories, where emotion and melancholy coexist with highly sensitive writing.
Work translated into French by Noël and Liliane Dutrait; original title «Gei wo laoye mai yugan - Zhoumo sichongzou», from 1989. The cover mentions Gao Xingjian's Nobel Prize in Literature.
For those interested in short fiction and contemporary Chinese literature, with stories of an intimate tone and historical backdrop.
