Literature and Fiction
Eileen Chang is one of the great writers of
twentieth-century China, where she enjoys a passionate
following both on the mainland and in Taiwan. At the heart
of Chang’s achievement is her short fiction—tales of love,
longing, and the shifting and endlessly treacherous shoals
of family life. Written when Chang was still in her
twenties, these extraordinary stories 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.
Love in a Fallen City, the first collection in English of
this dazzling body of work, introduces American readers to
the stark and glamorous vision of a modern master.
