Welcome to Taipei, Taiwan. The Chinese Civil War is now long over, but its shadow still haunts the city’s lost souls. A masterwork of Chinese short fiction - now published in the UK for the very first time - Taipei People follows the lives and losses of those who fled to Taipei after the 1949 Communist takeover of China. Threaded through with yearning and nostaglia, brimming with lost loves and half-forgotten faces, with dark pasts and darker presents, this collection of fourteen tales is an ode to a city of exiles. These are stories for anyone who has ever left home, for anyone who has had to say goodbye, and for all those who were not able to. 'A master of portraiture' Henry Miller'The highest achievement in the contemporary Chinese story' Patrick Hanan
