A picaresque novel on an epic scale ... Soul Mountain bristles with narratives in miniature - stories from ancient Chinese hisktory, folk tales, childhood reminiscences, memories of the Cultural Revolution, as well as bitter arguments and passionate sex. Gao's aim is to represent "the ineffability of life" and as far that is possible to do, he has done it in this complex, rich and strang novel.
