{"product_id":"9789622018624","title":"The Other Shore","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Gao Xingjian won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2000, he became the only Chinese writer to achieve such international acclaim. The Chinese University Press is the first publisher of his work in the English language. Indeed, The Other Shore is one of the few works by the author available in English today. \u003ci\u003eThe Other Shore: Plays by Gao Xingjian\u003c\/i\u003e contains five of Gao's most recent works:\u003ci\u003eThe Other Shore\u003c\/i\u003e (1986), \u003ci\u003eBetween Life and Death\u003c\/i\u003e (1991), \u003ci\u003eDialogue and Rebuttal\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), \u003ci\u003eNocturnal Wanderer\u003c\/i\u003e (1993), and \u003ci\u003eWeekend Quartet\u003c\/i\u003e (1995). With original imagery and in beautiful language, these plays illuminate the realities of life, death, sex, loneliness, and exile. The plays also show 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. An introduction by the translator describes the dramatist and his view on drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chinese University Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064892965104,"sku":"9789622018624","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789622018624_p0.jpg?v=1763680937","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789622018624","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
