Beskrivelse
Taiwan Travelogue is a captivating tale set in 1938, following a young novelist's journey from Japan to Taiwan. It beautifully weaves a story of love between two women with a rich exploration of language, history, and power.
A unique narrative blending romance with cultural and historical insights.
Winner of the 2026 International Booker Prize and the 2024 National Book Award for Translated Literature, Taiwan Travelogue is cleverly presented as a translation of a rediscovered work by a Japanese author. The story centers on Aoyama Chizuko, a young novelist who travels to Taiwan in May 1938.
Accompanied by her interpreter, she is offered intriguing glimpses into island life. Together, they explore the local culture, with the interpreter introducing her to the authentic flavors of Taiwanese cuisine-enough to satisfy Chizuko’s famously enormous appetite.
