As Andrew David Field argues, Mu Shiying advanced modern Chinese writing beyond the vernacular expression of May 4 giants Lu Xun and Lao She to even more starkly reveal the alienation of the cosmopolitan-capitalist city of Shanghai, trapped between the forces of civilization and barbarism. Each of these five short stories focuses on the author's key obsessions: the pleasurable yet anxiety-ridden social and sexual relationships of the modern city and the decadent maelstrom of consumption and leisure in Shanghai epitomized by the dance hall and the nightclub. This study places his writings squarely within the framework of Shanghai's social and cultural nightscapes. 600 10 $a Mu, Shiying $v Translations into English. 600 10 $a Mu, Shiying. 651 0 $a Shanghai (China) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authors, Chinese $y 20th century $v Biography. 700 1 $a Field, Andrew David. 830 0 $a RAS China in Shanghai series of China Monographs. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211030342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F98B842E08EC11E5A7E811F2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
