Yang Shuang-Zi

Yang Shuang-Zi is a Taiwanese author whose fiction explores the complex history and identity of Taiwan. Taiwan Travelogue is a novel that uses the framework of travel and exploration to examine Taiwan's colonial history, cultural identity, and the layers of memory that shape the island nation. Yang's writing is characterised by literary ambition, historical awareness, and an engagement with the question of what it means to be Taiwanese — a question with particular resonance given the island's complex relationship with Japan, China, and its own Indigenous peoples. The audiobook and book versions offer listeners and readers a literary exploration of Taiwan's identity. Yang's work appeals to readers interested in Taiwanese culture, East Asian literature, and fiction that uses history and place to explore questions of belonging and nationhood.
