China's Virginia Woolf. --The Wall Street Journal

Now in English for the first time, stories and essays about love, sex, and migration by one of the greatest Chinese authors of the twentieth century.

Time Tunnel offers a new selection of stories and essays, some translated for the first time into English, drawn from every stage of the career of the great Chinese writer Eileen Chang, from her debut in Japanese-occupied Shanghai through her flight, following the Revolution, to Hong Kong and America, to her last years as a bus-riding flaneuse on the highways and byways in Los Angeles.

Genesis, left out of the two volumes of stories with which Chang made her name in the 1940s, shows her transfixing eye for visual detail and aptitude for brilliant verbal description, even as it looks forward to the improvisatory, open-ended approach to narrative she developed in later years. Blossoms Afloat, Flowers Adrift addresses the perils and uncertainties--the vertigo--of exile, while in the late masterpiece Those Old Schoolmates They're All Quite Classy Now, Chang looks back across the better part of a lifetime to the world she came from and the changes that have come with the years.

Essays like Return to the Frontier and New England Is China, both written in English, broaden our wonder at the effervescent and melancholy genius of a transformative modern writer.
