Beijing Man

A novel of searing intelligence and startling originality, "Lost in Translation heralds the debut of a unique new voice on the literary landscape. Nicole Mones creates an unforgettable story of love and desire, of family ties and human conflict, and of one woman's struggle to lose herself in a foreign land--only to discover her home, her heart, herself. At dawn in Beijing, Alice Mannegan pedals a bicycle through the deserted streets. An American by birth, a translator by profession, she spends her nights in Beijing's smoke-filled bars, and the Chinese men she so desires never misunderstand her intentions. All around her rushes the air of China, the scent of history and change, of a world where she has come to escape her father's love and her own pain. It is a world in which, each night as she slips from her hotel, she hopes to lose herself forever. For Alice, it began with a phone call from an American archaeologist seeking a translator. And it ended in an intoxicating journey of the heart--one that would plunge her into a nation's past, and into some of the most rarely glimpsed regions of China. Hired by an archaeologist searching for the bones of Peking Man, Alice joins an expedition that penetrates a vast, uncharted land and brings Professor Lin Shiyang into her life. As they draw closer to unearthing the secret of Peking Man, as the group's every move is followed, their every whisper recorded, Alice and Lin find shelter in each other, slowly putting to rest the ghosts of their pasts. What happens between them becomes one of the most breathtakingly erotic love stories in recent fiction. Indeed, "Lost in Translation is a novel about love--between a nation and its past, betweena man and a memory, between a father and a daughter. Its powerful impact confirms the extraordinary gifts of a master storyteller, Nicole Mones.

Gao Xingjian is the leading Chinese dramatist of our time. He is also one of the most moving and literary writers for the contemporary stage. His plays have been performed in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, France, and other European countries. Born and educated in China, Gao studied French literature at the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute between 1958-1962. After the Cultural Revolution, he became resident playwright at the Beijing People's Art Theatre. His Bus Stop, Absolute Signal, and Wilderness Man were trend-setting works that created many controversies and led to a wave of experimental drama in China. In 1987 he moved to Paris, where he continued to write in Chinese and French. He was awarded the Chevalier del'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Government in 1992.The present collection contains five of Gao Xingjian's most recent works: The Other Shore (1986), Between Life and Death (1991), Dialogue and Rebuttal (1992), Nocturnal Wanderer (1993), and Weekend Quartet (1995). Combining Zen philosophy and a modern worldview, they serve to illuminate the gritty realities of life, death, sex, loneliness, and exile, all essential concerns in Gao's understanding of the existence of modern man. The plays are also manifestations of the dramatist's idea of the tripartite actor, a process by which the actor neutralizes himself and achieves a disinterested observation of his self in performance.Gilbert C. F. Fong has written many articles on modern and contemporary Chinese literature and literary translation. Presently he is senior lecturer at the Department of Translation, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.Distributed by the University of Michigan Press in Canada and the United States and its dependencies.
