Fiction
Passing
Introduction
2024 TLA Annual Golden Grand Laurel Award
More than an exploration of Taiwan political history, Passing plumbs the plight of people with no home to return to. It is written for all children who, like the author, struggle to establish their own identities and communicate with their fathers.
The book intricately and powerfully depicts the lived experiences of people of different social and ethnic backgrounds thrown together in postwar Taiwan and their individual and mutual struggles to come to grips with their past, present, and future. The narrative captures the politics of blood and tears, father-son conflicts, a life of self-torment, and the tumult of an era emerging from trauma.
