Taiwanese author wins prestigious book prize

I’m really excited to share that Taiwanese author Yang Shuang-zi has just won the prestigious International Booker Prize! This award, presented at the Tate Modern in London, celebrates literary works from around the globe that have been translated into English. Yang's book, 'Taiwan Travelogue', is a remarkable first, being the first Mandarin-translated work to win this honor. Set in 1930s Taiwan under Japanese rule, it cleverly poses as a translation of a rediscovered Japanese travel memoir by a fictional author. What a fantastic achievement for Taiwanese literature!
