Taipei Story
Another novel, another genre for prolific author R.F. Kuang (Yellowface, Katabasis). This time Kuang focuses on a Chinese-American student who enrolls in an intensive language program in Taipei for the summer. While there, she's forced to deal with unexpected culture shock, self-discovery, and a family history she thought she knew but didn't. Review coming soon.
