商品簡介
A staggering, tender epic about gay men in rural China and the women who marry them.
For over thirty years, Old Second and his wife, Bao Mei, have cobbled together a meager existence in New York City's Chinatown. But unlike other couples, these two aren't in love. In rural China, before they emigrated, they frequented the Workers' Cinema: a rundown theater where gay men cruised without fear for intimacy and conversation. While classic war films played, Old Second and his countrymen found privacy--and love--in the screening rooms. In the box office, Bao Mei sold tickets to closeted men; guarding their secrets, guiding them in their relationships, and even finding her own happiness with the theater's projectionist. But when Old Second's passion for his lover is discovered, a series of haunting events unfold, propelling these characters toward an uncertain future in America. As we follow these characters from China to New York, from first love to old age, we bear witness to the tensions of immigration--and how memory forever weighs down the present. Cinema Love is a big-hearted and heart-shattering novel about desire, secrets, grief, how we care for one another, and how we survive.
