Lynn King

Taiwan Travelogue is many things.

A travel memoir, a culinary adventure through 1930s Japan-occupied Taiwan, and an unexpected love story.

That's translator Lynn King reading from the book in 2024.

It's a novel that chooses to illuminate aspects of normal life during political upheaval, she says, like eating good food, engaging in petty arguments, wondering what movie to watch, and, of course, getting butterflies from that special someone across the cafeteria.
