Falling in Love

Falling in Love
By:"Patrick Hanan"
Published on 2006 by University of Hawaii Press

Falling in love, with all its accompanying problems, was a subject of obsessive interest among writers and readers in the Ming Dynasty, when society held strictly to arranged marriages. The stories in this engaging collection all deal with this theme in very different ways, sometimes comically, sometimes tragically. They portray young people choosing their own lovers, resorting to ingenious stratagems and risky escapades in defiance of contemporary mores. Chosen to represent the best works from the great age of the vernacular story, they offer an admirable introduction to the world of Chinese fiction in this era. All of the stories in Falling in Love have been translated especially for this volume, and most appear here in translation for the first time. They are taken from two works, Constant Words to Awaken the World (Xing shi heng yan) and a related collection, The Rocks Nod Their Heads (Shi dian tou), both published in the early seventeenth century.

LOVE STORIES is about love at all ages, from the obsession of a young man in his early twenties for an older woman, to the sentimental journey of an old man, whose wife has recently died, to find the love he left behind him in war-torn England after World War II to return to the States. In DIANNE, the narrator finds himself obsessing over a beautiful woman he has seen on a train. It intensifies when she accidentally bumps into him on the steps of the New York Public Library a few weeks later. Frightened, not sure he isn't getting into something that is more than he can handle, he accepts her invitation to accompany her to a penthouse party on New Years eve. The ensuing relationship, filled as it is with beauty and tenderness, leaves him scarred and shaken when Dianne's own obsession, the mysterious world-traveler Charlie, returns to claim her.
