Jasmine Tea ” – DIE ZEITBut how sweet a fruit the suppose must be, that people will sup and sup on it! A juicy fruit, like a lychee but without the pit, sparkling and light green: a fruit that hides the tart within the sweet. In this haunting collection of stories, a young mans obsession leads to tragedy and a womans bitterness poisons a familys legacy. In delicate, piercing prose, Chang captures a world of quiet cruelties and calamitous desires in pre revolutionary China.
