Beschreibung

Welcome to Taipei, Taiwan. The Chinese Civil War is now long over, but its shadow still haunts the city's lost souls.

A masterwork of Chinese short fiction, Taipei People follows the lives and losses of those who fled to Taipei after the 1949 Communist takeover of China. Threaded through with yearning and nostaglia, brimming with lost loves and half-forgotten faces, this collection of fourteen tales is an ode to a city of exiles.

These are stories for anyone who has ever left home, for anyone who has had to say goodbye, and for all those who were not able to.

'While I was writing Taipei Story, I kept coming back to the short stories of Pai Hsien-yung... he writes beautifully about what it's like to live on the margins of national identities.' R F Kuang
