China’s Literary Legacy – David Der-wei Wang & Lynn Pan on Eileen Chang

What should be an intersting discussion on Eileen Chang (Zhang Ailing) at this years Shanghai International Literary Festival.

(fascinatingly Xinhua, the commie news agency, is sticking its logo on pictures of Eileen Chang appearing to indicate that they are claiming some sort of copyright over Chang’s image – a most interesting concept but utterly preposterous – particularly as she hated the bastards with a vengeance too!!)

China’s Literary Legacy – David Der-wei Wang & Lynn Pan on Eileen Chang
Speakers: David Der-wei Wang, the Edward C. Henderson Professor of Chinese Literature and Director of CCK Foundation Inter-University Center for Sinological Studies and Shanghai’s very own Lynn Pan, who shouldn’t need any introduction to anyone reading a blog largely about Shanghai history!
Date: 19 March, 2011 (Saturday)
Time: 11:00 am
Venue: The Glamour Bar, 6/F, No.5 The Bund, Shanghai
Ticket Price: RMB 65
Taking off from Eileen Chang’s posthumously published, tell-all auto-biographical novel, The Book of Change, David Wang talks about the experiences particularly those in Shanghai, from which Chang’s much-loved novellas & short stories came. A conversation with Lynn Pan.
