Urban Scenes

This collection is especially valuable since there are no more works from Liu because shortly after producing this he was murdered purportedly for political reasons.

Info autore

Liu Na'ou (1905-1940) was an editor, writer, film critic, scenarist, and director who introduced Japanese Shinkankakuha (New Sensationism) to China and made it an important school of modern Chinese urban fiction. His writings-Urban Scenes, his slim volume of modernist fiction, in particular-have had an outsized influence on Shanghai's image as a phantasmagoric metropolis in the 1920s and 1930s, and his name has become part of the city's twentieth-century history. Liu's life was cut short when he was murdered by unknown assailants, purportedly for political reasons.
