The Gobi is in many ways like the old American West, filled with abandoned hamlets and buildings, traces of disappeared peoples.

There is nothing I can think of that is quite as isolating as this.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Language
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Perhaps I abandoned criticism because I am full of contradictions, and when you write an essay, you are not supposed to contradict yourself. But in the theater, by inventing various characters, you can. My characters are contradictory not only in their language but in their behavior as well.
- Disrupted

- Nov 07, 2020
