NOW IN PAPERBACK, the luminous multi-award-winning novel that is “part ghost story, part love story, and part tale of hardscrabble immigrant life” (The New Yorker)

Moving from post-socialist China to contemporary New York, Cinema Love is a tender epic about forbidden relationships, belonging, and the weight of memory. At the Workers’ Cinema in rural Fuzhou, gay men would cruise for love in the screening rooms, while in the box office, the woman who sold tickets would tightly guard their secrets. But when a series of haunting events unfold, these characters are propelled toward an uncertain future in America. This staggering novel asks: When love and survival exist at odds, what do we sacrifice?
