A delicate touch: Essays on Chinese influences and Chinese genres

A Delicate Touch is a highly imaginative, original, and powerful interpretation of literary and performing works – including films, plays, novels, poems, and even architecture – that are influenced by Chinese cultures. Through careful and creative reading and rereading of these visual and written texts, with attentiveness to the problematics of transcultural politics, this book sheds fresh light on how cross-cultural influences and exchanges have impacted traditional art forms and genres.

《触》里头的文章对中国文化影响下的文学和表演作品（包括电影，戏剧，小说，诗歌甚至建筑）进行了极富想象力和原创力的诠释。通过对文本的创造性阅读和重读，以及对跨文化政治中错综复杂的问题意识的关注，本书探讨了跨文化影响和交流对传统艺术形式的冲击。
