Love In A Fallen City
Eileen Chang, Karen S. KingsburyEileen 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.
A dazzling collection of short stories by Eileen Chang, for the first time in Penguin Modern Classics.
'Chang's world is a stark and mysterious place where people strive to find their way in love but often fail under the pressures of family, tradition, & reputation' – The New Yorker

Eileen Chang (1920–1995) was born into an aristocratic family in Shanghai. Two novels, The Rice Sprout Song & Naked Earth, were followed by a third, The Rouge of the North (1967), which expanded on her celebrated early novella “The Golden Cangue.”
Eileen Chang was found dead in her Los Angeles apartment in September 1995. In 2006, NYRB Classics published Love in a Fallen City, an original collection of her short fiction. The following year, Lust, Caution, a film adaptation of Chang’s 1979 novella, directed by Ang Lee, was released.
