Description
Eileen Chang's remarkable short fiction collection, Love in a Fallen City, presents a profound and deeply personal exploration of love, longing, and family life. Written in her twenties, these extraordinary tales showcase an unsettling yet probing sensibility, keenly attuned to the complexities of human relationships.
Chang's work is characterized by its intense lyricism, echoing the classics of Chinese literature, while also embracing a contemporary sensibility that probes the shifting and treacherous shoals of family life. This first collection in English offers readers a glimpse into the stark and glamorous vision of a modern master.
