«Une canne à pêche pour mon grand-père» is a book of six stories by Gao Xingjian, published by Editions de l'Aube in paperback (109 pages, in French).
The book brings together six stories that interweave childhood memories, friendship, love and the landscape of the native country with small street dramas and the wounds of Chinese history. Everyday images —a child who has grown up, a newlywed in love, a drifting swimmer— lead to a reading of smiles and contained emotions.
Translation and preface by Noël Dutrait. Published in 1997 in the Regards croisés collection. The Chinese original appeared in 1989.
For readers of short fiction and Asian literature, as well as for those who follow the work of Nobel Prize in Literature winner Gao Xingjian.
