About
Beverley Wang delves into Taiwan Travelogue, Yáng Shuāng-zǐ’s International Booker Prize-winning novel of language, history and power set in Japanese-occupied Taiwan. Disguised as the translation of a rediscovered memoir, the book follows novelist Aoyama Chizuko, who sails from Nagasaki to Taiwan on the invitation of the then-ruling Japanese government. With an insatiable appetite, Chizuko eschews the official banquets and sets out to eat her way around the island, accompanied by her Taiwanese interpreter.
