In the words of Booker Prize Chair Natasha Brown, "Taiwan Travelogue pulls off an incredible double feat: it succeeds as both a romance and an incisive postcolonial novel. As judges, we’ve enjoyed rich discussions about the many layers of this book. It’s a captivating, slyly sophisticated novel." https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/d63fc200-b187-11f1-8691-cd349320de2d-rimg-w592-h740-dc686868-gmir.jpg NPR: Your book is accused by some Chinese audiences of romanticizing colonialism, or of being an example of colonial nostalgia literature. How do you respond?Yáng: Clearly, they have not understood the book. I am completely criticizing colonialism. My criticism is this: even when a colonizer tries to treat the colonized equally, the conclusion is that they still cannot do it. It shows us that colonialism is pervasive, and that the colonial system is fundamentally bad. Even if this regime built many modern facilities on this land, none of that solves the fact that it deprived the people on the colonized land of their original rights. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/d67a0be0-b187-11f1-8691-cd349320de2d-rimg-w592-h740-dc686868-gmir.jpg Past Nooroongji Book Club Picks:Nov 2023: The Guest Cat, by Takashi HiraideDec 2023: The Wall, by Marlen HaushoferJan 2024: Difficult Loves, by Italo CalvinoFeb 2024: All Your Children, Scattered, by Beata Umubyeyi MairesseMar 2024: Kim Ji Young Born 1982, by Cho Nam JooApr 2024: The Inhumans and Other Stories, Edited by Bodhisattva ChattopadhyayMay 2024: Her Body and Other Parties, by Carmen Maria MachadoJun 2024: How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, by Mohsin HamidJul 2024: Victory City, by Salman RushdieAug 2024: An Apprenticeship, Or The Book of Pleasures, by Clarice LispectorSept 2024: The Love of Singular Men, by Victor HeringerOct 2024: Coexistence, by Billy-Ray BelcourtNov 2024: Ryder, by Djuna BarnesDec 2024: Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop, by Hwang Bo-reumFeb 2025: Assembly, by Natasha BrownApril 2025: The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor DostoevskyJuly 2025: The Last Supper, by Rachel CuskAugust 2025: The Houseguest, by Amparo DávilaSeptember 2025: The Serviceberry, by Robin Wall KimmererNovember 2025: Change, by Edouard LouisApril 2026: Time of the Flies, by Claudia PiñeiroJuly 2026: May It Have a Happy Ending, by Minelle MahtaniAgenda🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PMDoors open, set-up, and mingling🕑: 06:30 PM - 08:00 PMDiscussion begins🕑: 08:00 PM - 08:30 PMNext book selection and wind-down - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/vancouver/nooroongji-book-club-taiwan-travelogue-by-yáng-shuāng-zǐ-trans-lin-king/100001999453908464 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, parties, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: After hours entrance to the Net Loft is through the EAST(Alimentaria) side door only. - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.66, max: 6.66, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Vancouver - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: After hours entrance to the Net Loft is through the EAST(Alimentaria) side door only. - **lat**: 49.272096 - **long**: -123.1356255 - **full address**: After hours entrance to the Net Loft is through the EAST(Alimentaria) side door only., 1666 Johnston Street, Vancouver, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Nooroongji Book Club: Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zǐ , Trans.
