En nog meer shortlist-nieuws: de nominaties voor de Baifang Schell-prijs. Korte verhalen van Eileen Chang en Shuang Xuetao, twee romans van Fang Fang en het surrealisme van Can Xue. Eileen Chang is fantastisch, goed nieuws dat er meer van haar verhalen zijn vertaald. En de andere genomineerden zijn vast waardig gezelschap!

“Shanghai thirty years ago on a moonlit night …” #eileenchang

For once, I know exactly what prompted me to buy the book I'm sharing today - and that was a review by JacquiWine of Eileen Chang's "Jasmine Tea and other stories". Chang is an author I've been aware of for some time, but never read, and Jacqui certainly made her sound essential. Fortunately, there is a little Penguin Archive volume available containing three of her stories, entitled…

If anyone is (re)watching Mr Robot on Netflix and interested in the China angle (or old Hong Kong film), I've just liberated a thing I wrote on its subreddit and posted it on infosec.press.

I remember it was fun to write, and because of that I want it to also live somewhere outside the enshittified Reddit.

Old Mr. Robot shit

This is something that I posted in r/MrRobot nearly a decade ago, in real-time after this particular episode dropped. I was living in Sha...

"There were two women in Zhenbao's life: one he called his white rose, the other his red rose. One was a spotless wife, the other a passionate mistress."

Stunning but extremely lo-res still of #JoanChen as "Red Rose" in #StanleyKwan's film RED ROSE WHITE ROSE (1994), based on the novella of the same name by #EileenChang. Exquisite cinematography by #ChristopherDoyle. Hope to see a better quality print one day.

Een paar aanbevelingen uit de Chinese literatuur, poëzie en non-fictie die afgelopen jaar in het Engels is verschenen: van essays van Eileen Chang en korte verhalen over Beijing tot een zelfhulp-stripverhaal over een zeehond (?!) en meer.

Una lectura superficial de los cuentos reunidos en "Love in a Fallen City", o "Amor en una ciudad derrotada", podría equivocarse en juzgar estas como historias de amor, siguiendo la declaración del título, pero este amor del que Chang habla va mucho más allá de lo romántico y se adentra en la oscuridad de los corazones. || Libro abierto: Eileen Chang y la 'irrazonable realidad'

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.

Rereading Eileen Chang's spy thriller 'Lust, Caution' – The China Project

"Lust, Caution" is a masterclass in the short story/novella genre, a tale of high-stakes manipulation against the backdrop of “glossily rouged lips,” “sleeveless cheongsams of electric blue,” and “diamond studded sapphire button earrings."

Love, ambition, no politics: Chinese women flock to read Eileen Chang

Celebrated novelist Eileen Chang is enjoying a new surge in popularity in China, especially among young women looking to navigate social expectations.

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.
