I adored Shakespeare when I was first introduced to his plays in high school, and it was his use of language that I was particularly obsessed with. Q: Of all the retellings, what drew you to Romeo and Juliet and what made Shanghai the perfect backdrop? We can’t wait to hear if you love it as much as we did!
Order Chloe Gong’s book, These Violent Delights, available now, and tag in your pictures. Read on for all the juicy details from the author! Not to mention, we fully endorse her pick for the best Romeo and Juliet film ever made. We are truly so excited about this book – from the 1920s setting to the historical strife in Shanghai, Chloe has created a masterful retelling of Romeo and Juliet. This inspired retelling is set in 1920s Shanghai, with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River.
