Reviews for Wandering Mind and Metaphysical Thoughts

This bilingual edition contains not only 'snippets of his reflective moods' but also reproductions of Gao's art to accompany his words. Poems of fragmentation and collision, they reflect the current crises of art, politics, and the psyche in China as well as abroad.--World Literature Today
