Sinking
A lonely Chinese student in Japan, ashamed of his country, his desires and himself, drifts toward despair. Yu Dafu's Sinking caused a sensation in 1921 with its frankness and is one of the founding works of modern Chinese literature. This edition also includes his other early stories. This is a complete new English translation, with names in modern pinyin and the text rendered as plain, readable English prose. It is one of the long narratives that shaped Chinese fiction, full of household detail, comedy and grief, and it reads straight through like any great novel. Few of these novels have ever been available in complete English form, and this edition lets English readers follow the whole story from the first chapter to the last.
