Lust, Caution Summary
Lust, Caution Reviews
A dazzling and distinctive fiction writer. -New York Times Book Review Chang's sensual writing has elements of both China and the United States; the smoky, formal world of respect for tradition and the irresistible, harshly lighted future. -Los Angeles TimesA master of the short story.... Chang's world is a stark and mysterious place where people strive to find their way in love but often fail under the pressures of family, tradition, and reputation. -The New YorkerChang has strong and sensuous power of description.... Her stories could hardly be more eloquent. -New York Review of Books
