Gao Xingjian, Soul Mountain

history is a riddle?

I like to read novels over the summer holidays since there is often the time and space to set your mind to a different rhythm

This year I read two novels Gao Xingjian, Soul Mountain and Pip Williams, Dictionary of Lost Words.

I am going to offer some reflections related to mindful history and authentic writing on both novels, with Soul Mountain being the focus of this message, and Dictionary of Lost Words being the focus of Saturday’s free newsletter.
