Yang Shuang-zi
🇹🇼Taiwan
Yang Shuang-zi (楊双子) writes historical fiction that reimagines Taiwan's colonial past through stories of female friendship, identity, and resistance. Taiwan Travelogue blends fact and fiction in a narrative set during the Japanese colonial period, creating a layered portrait of Taiwan's complex cultural identity through the journey of two women across the island.
Her work belongs to a growing body of Taiwanese literature that excavates the island's colonial history — not with nostalgia or resentment, but with the curiosity and empathy of a generation trying to understand how the past shaped the present. Yang Shuang-zi writes with a historian's rigor and a novelist's gift for making the distant past feel intimate and alive.
