Book Description:
One Man's Bible is a fictionalized account of Gao Xingjian's life under the Chinese Communist regime. Daily life is riddled with paranoia and fear, and government propaganda turns citizens against one another. It is a place where a single sentence spoken ten years earlier can make one an enemy of the state.
But One Man's Bible is also a profound meditation on the essence of writing, on exile, on the effects of political oppression on the human spirit, and on how the human spirit can triumph.

This is a novel by a Chinese author which deals with what it was like to live through the Chinese cultural revolution. I liked it, but it wasn't a happy read. It would be of interest to someone who wants to know more about China during that period of its history. While it is not true, it is no doubt based of the facts of the time.
