Eileen Chang is now recognized as one of the greatest modern Chinese writers, though she was completely erased from official histories in mainland China. These previously unpublished, semi-autobiographical novels depict in gripping detail her childhood years in Tianjin and Shanghai, as well as her student days in Hong Kong during World War II, and shed light on the construction of selfhood in her other novels.

评分翻译非常好,简直想不到原文是英文。难怪张爱玲要说华美的袍上面都是虱子,家庭实在太压抑了,难怪张那么爱红楼,她自己的家也差不多类似,簪缨大家,不肖子弟,三四代后,内里也尽上来了。一切都是钱的矛盾,父母各自提防,生怕多花了自己的钱,不但账单,连孩子的培养教育费...
评分从前看张爱玲的文字,总觉得故事中女人们的个性与遭遇各有各的根基,而男人们的贪嗔和暴虐却总是没有理由。后来传说中的“外集”——即几部自传体小说纷纷出版,从《小团圆》、《易经》再是《雷峰塔》,这感觉却掉了个儿,感觉或撑或垮的男人们每个都有自己的难堪与隐衷,反倒...
评分关于回忆,张爱玲的自传体小说《小团圆》里有这么一段话: “回忆不管是愉快还是不愉快的,都有一种悲哀,虽然淡,她怕那滋味。她从来不自找伤感,实生活里有的是,不可避免的。但是光就这么想了想,就像站在个古建筑物门口往里张了张,在月光与黑影中断瓦颓垣千门万户,一瞥间...
评分1一局打完了,牌子推倒重洗,七八只手在搅。厨子老吴悻悻然骂着手气转背了。花匠布鞋穿一半,拖着脚过来看桌上一副还没动的牌。每个人都是瓮声瓮气的,倒不是吵架。琵琶顶爱背后的这些声响,有一种深深的无聊与忿恨,像是从一个更冷更辛苦的世界吹来的风,能提振精神,和楼上的...

"The Fall of the Pagoda begins as a comedy of manners and gradually evolves into a gothic thriller… Contradictions and aberrations are the norm in Lute’s family. This is a household immersed in a decaying grandeur amid the intoxicating smell of opium, but it never hesitates to pursue new and exotic things from automobiles to movies. Desolation and decadence rule. Lute’s father indulges himself in debauchery while her mother could not wait to become a Nora of New China. Nevertheless, both share the disposition to squander family fortune ruthlessly; children are their last concern. The Russian Revolution, the creation of Manchukuo, and the Second Sino-Japanese War take place one after another in the novel, but except for momentary disturbances, nothing affects the family which is already engulfed by its own corruption." — From the Introduction by David Der-wei Wang, Harvard University
