520    An NYRB Classics Original Last Words from Montmartre is a 
       novel in letters that narrates the gradual dissolution of 
       a relationship between two lovers and, ultimately, the 
       complete unraveling of the narrator. In a voice that veers
       between extremes, from self-deprecation to hubris, 
       compulsive repetition to sublime reflection, reticence to 
       vulnerability, it can be read as both the author's 
       masterpiece and a labor of love, as well as her own 
       suicide note. Last Words from Montmartre, written just as 
       Internet culture was about to explode, is also a kind of 
       farewell to letters. The opening note urges us to read the
       letters in any order. Each letter unfolds as a chapter, 
       the narrator writing from Paris to her lover in Taipei and
       to family and friends in Taiwan and Tokyo. The book opens 
       with the death of a beloved pet rabbit and closes with a 
       portentous expression of the narrator's resolve to kill 
       herself. In between we follow Qiu's protagonist into the 
       streets of Montmartre; into descriptions of affairs with 
       both men and women, French and Taiwanese; into rhapsodic 
       musings on the works of Theodoros Angelopoulos and Andrei 
       Tarkovsky; and into wrenching and clear-eyed outlines of 
       what it means to exist not only between cultures but, to a
       certain extent, between and among genders. More 
       Confessions of a Mask than Well of Loneliness, the novel 
       marks Qiu as one of the finest experimentalist and 
       modernist Chinese-language writers of our generation.
