Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"The most important contribution of this book is its comprehensive and judicious coverage of the major authors and the crucial movements in the occasionally tumultuous and sometimes politicized development of contemporary Chinese fiction from Taiwan. This book is the first of its kind in the West."—William Tay, University of California, San Diego
"This is the first single-author work on Taiwan fiction in English, which is rather remarkable, given the amount of literature produced, the quality and impact of that literature, and the interesting and shifting relationship of that literature with the social, political, and economic life of Taiwan. The scholarship is first-rate—meticulous, reasoned, and comprehensive."—Howard Goldblatt, University of Colorado, Boulder
