95bFM's Loose Reads: Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zǐ / by Time Out Bookstore

Nate visited the temporary 95bFM studio to talk about this year’s 2026 International Booker winner, Taiwan Travelogue. This was translated by Lin King.

A romance of longing between two women that captures a bond brought together by colonialism and imperialism - and food.

Disguised as a translation of a rediscovered text by a Japanese writer, this novel was a sensation on its first publication in Mandarin Chinese in 2020 and won Taiwan's highest literary honour, the Golden Tripod Award.
