A dazzling introduction to one of the great writers of twentieth-century China — now a beloved NYRB Classics edition.
Eileen Chang enjoys a passionate following in mainland China and Taiwan, and at the heart of her achievement is her short fiction: tales of love, longing and the shifting, treacherous shoals of family life. Written when she was still in her twenties, the stories gathered in Love in a Fallen City combine an unsettled, probing, utterly contemporary sensibility — keenly alert to sexual politics and psychological ambiguity — with an intense lyricism that echoes the classics of Chinese literature.
The first collection of Chang's work in English, this is the perfect entry point into the stark and glamorous vision of a modern master.
For readers of literary fiction and modern Chinese literature.
