Modernism and the Nativist Resistance
The first comprehensive English-language study of literary trends in the fiction of Taiwan over the last forty years, this pioneering work explores a rich tradition of literary Modernism in its shifting relationship with Chinese politics and culture.

Many of Asong's perceptions are not only critically ...
