Join us for our November book club discussion of Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zǐ, translated by Lin King, followed by coffee or drinks nearby.

Winner of the 2026 International Booker Prize, Taiwan Travelogue is set in Taiwan in 1938, during Japanese colonial rule. A young Japanese writer arrives on the island and is paired with a Taiwanese interpreter who becomes her guide and companion. As they travel together, the novel explores friendship, intimacy, colonial power, language, and plenty of delicious food!

We’ll meet on Friday, November 27 at Backstory Bookshop. After the discussion, we’ll head together to a nearby bar or café.

New readers are always welcome!
