The "Dubliner" of Modern Taiwanese Lietrature

This is a classic of modern Taiwanese literature. Fourteen short stories of different characters in post-war Taipei -- realistic yet dream-like. It marks the end of pre-communism China and the beginning of another era in Taiwan. The narration is powerful and vivid, the technique a milestone of the Chinese language literature. A real treasure.
