Autorenporträt
Eileen Chang (1920-1995) was a Chinese writer, born into an aristocratic family in Shanghai. She studied literature at the University of Hong Kong until the Japanese attack on the city in 1941 forced her to return to occupied Shanghai, where she was able to publish the stories and essays--collected in two volumes, Romances (1944) and Written on Water (1945)--that soon made her a literary star. After moving to the United States in the 1950s, Chang wrote the novels Naked Earth (available as an NYRB Classic) and The Rice Sprout Song, as well as essays and stories in Chinese and scripts for Hong Kong films. Eileen Chang wrote fiction and essays in both her native Chinese and in her own eclectic style of English. She is also the author of the NYRB Classics Love in a Fallen City and Little Reunions. She died in Los Angeles. Karen S. Kingsbury is a translator of Chinese literature. She previously translated other works by Chang, including Half a Lifelong Romance and Love in a Fallen City. She is a professor of humanities and Asian studies at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA. Jie Zhang is Associate Professor of Chinese at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Her research interests include late imperial Chinese fiction and drama, modern and contemporary Chinese literature, and Chinese-language film.
