Moving between the nightmare of the cultural révolution , and the tentative limited liberties of the China of the 1990s, one on’s bible weaves memories of a amorous boyhood Beijing and encounters in Hong Kong fictionalized svith a account of Gao Xingjian’s life under the communist regime – where a single sentence spoken ten years earlier can make one à enemy of the state. A profound meditation on the essence of writing and exile, one on’s bible is above all a piercing, passionate account of the effects of political oppression on the human spirit – and of how that spirit can triumph.
