📖 The Scoop
From Gao Xingjian, a winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Literature, comes a "major drama about life.
Snow in August blends Eastern and Western cultures. In form, there are elements of Shakespearean and Greek tragedy, but in spirit, it embodies a uniquely Eastern sensibility."--Gao Xingjian
