"Part ghost story, part love story, and part tale of hardscrabble immigrant life." --The New Yorker

A staggering epic about men and women who find themselves in forbidden relationships, the weight of secrets, and the persistence of memory.

Spanning decades, from post-socialist China to contemporary New York, Cinema Love is a tour de force about gay men and the women who marry them.

Thirty years ago, in rural Fuzhou, Old Second and his wife Bao Mei frequented the Workers' Cinema: a rundown theater where gay men cruised for love. While classic war films played, Old Second found intimacy with closeted men in the screening rooms. In the box office, Bao Mei sold movie tickets, guarding the secrets of the cinema and even finding her own happiness with the projectionist. But once Old Second's passionate affair with his male lover was exposed, a series of haunting events unfolded, propelling these characters toward an uncertain future in America.

A tender novel of love, care, and survival, Cinema Love announces Jiaming Tang as a major new talent.
