Lust—caution, lovely Limei! A bad bad novel about a sad sad girl.

Limei is a sensitive, romantic, and artistic girl living all alone in Shanghai. She spends her days making latte art and her nights expressing herself on her personal blog. For now, sadness is her favorite food. But when will her love-life finally find her?!? After drawing the attention of a powerful, handsome, and cruel stranger, the plot thickens…and evaporates into fantasy. What does Limei want from us, what do we want from her, what really happened that night on the rooftop—and how bad can a book really get?

A classic coming-of-age story written somewhere between polaroid and porn popup; proverb, pop lyric, and propaganda, this is a novel for getting stuck in your head. Originally conceived to accompany an installation by Diane Severin Nguyen at the Rockbund Museum in Shanghai, Little Pink Book is a labor of love, a perverse mistranslation, an exercise in humiliation, and a cautionary tale about writing itself. And somewhere in there…lies Limei’s bleeding-pink heart.
