Waarom iedereen "Lust, Caution" van Eileen Chang moet lezen (vert oa Julia Lovell). 'Een de dingen die "Lust, Caution" zo goed maken, en misschien ook een reden dat Chang Shanghai in oorlogstijd zo levensecht beschrijft, is dat ze wist waar ze het over had.' Deze novelle is nog niet in het Nederlands vertaald, haar roman "De liefde van een half leven" wel, door Silvia Marijnissen.

加拿大girl 看完了一本鲁迅的合集（不是全集，但好像有名的那些都有），又找我要新推荐。

我本来想推荐秦晖，搜了一圈发现他写中国政治分析的几本都没有英文版。。。。

不管三七二十一我要推荐 Eileen Chang 了！

#EileenChang

The great Chinese author #eileenchang wrote that the three most regrettable things in life are that 1) #Shad is so delicious but has many bones; 2) #begonias are beautiful but have no fragrance; and 3) Cao Xueqin’s late 18th century novel of manners Dream of the Red Chamber was superb, but unfinished. To that I’d like to add that #moleskine notebooks are lovely but the paper is not great for #fountainpens.

“She could, with a single phrase, take you hostage.”—Jamie Fisher, @The_Millions
