Book Description

Publication Date: November 14, 2011

Set in Japanese-occupied Shanghai in 1945, The Frontiers of Love passes effortlessly in and out of Asian and Western fields of reference to explore the issue of cultural identity in a city dominated by Western colonialism. Diana Chang uses psychological portrayal, historical narrative, and sociological observation to achieve a multi-dimensional view of a city both Chinese and Western, liberating and oppressive, national and international. As the character Feng observes of Shanghai, "Strictly speaking, it could not be called Chinese, though it was inhabited mostly by Chinese - Chinese who were either wealthy, Westernized, or prayed to a Christian God."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Universal Talent, February 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Frontiers Of Love (Paperback)

Diana Chang is a talented novelist and poet. Her other novels are unfortunately out of print and should be released again. Ms. Chang is featured in several Asian-American anthologies, but it isn't fair to just categorize her in this way. Her work is universal and doesn't just speak to Asians or Asian-Americans or Eurasians. I definitely recommend this book, as well as her novel 'Eye for Eye', and her collections of poetry.
