She was one of the very few able truly to connect that divide, just as her heroines often disappeared inside it. She is the fallen angel of Chinese literature, and now, with these excellent new translations, English readers can discover why she is so revered by Chinese readers everywhere.\" \u003ci\u003e-\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eAng Lee\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEileen 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. \u003ci\u003eLove in a Fallen City\u003c\/i\u003e, the first collection in English of this dazzling body of work, introduces American readers to the stark and glamorous vision of a modern master.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590171783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/14\/2006 pg. 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2006 pg. 803\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2006 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2006 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/16\/2006 pg. 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooksense '76 December 2006\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2006 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2007 pg. 85\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/18\/2007 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eileen Chang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660811956380,"sku":"9781590171783","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4ff11c9c-cec7-4643-862f-4fb52671fcc4.jpg?v=1603897597","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/love-in-a-fallen-city-9781590171783","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
