Author's Talk on Skeleton Women ~ December 1, 2012
The Renwen Society at China Institute presents a bilingual talk by Mingmei Yip on December 1, 2012 from 2:15-4 pm, on her new and fourth novel, Skeleton Women. The novel tells the story of three women – Camilla, a nightclub singer, who has been forced to become a spy, Shadow, a magician, who jumps naked off a tall building, and a gender-ambiguous gossip columnist. All must scheme in order to survive the gang wars in lawless 1930’s Shanghai. In this event, Dr. Yip will also discuss women spies in modern China – their skill, scheme, and fate. She will highlight two celebrity spies, Jin Bihui and Li Xianglan - the latter a popular singer, movie star, and later, a successful politician. Following the brief talk, Dr. Yip will read excerpts from Skeleton Women and sign copies. Her other novels include, Song of the Silk Road（2011）, Petals from the Sky（2010）, and Peach Blossom Pavilion（2008）. More...
