About This Item
A scarce work of Chinese-American fiction, included in Birch and Keene's Anthology of Chinese Literature. Cultural critic Rey Chow writes, "The Rouge of the North tells of the melancholy life of a lower-class woman trapped within the confines of an unhappy arranged marriage. Taking the reader through the stages of this woman's gradual descent into madness, it contains some of the most notable novelistic features of Chang's work. A poignant story.
