Description
Notes of a Crocodile is a poignant coming-of-age novel about queer misfits discovering love, friendship, and artistic affinity in late-1980s Taipei. Set against the backdrop of a post-martial-law era, the story follows an anonymous lesbian narrator, nicknamed Lazi, as she navigates her fatalistic attraction to an older woman and finds solace in a circle of friends.
Through a unique blend of diaries, vignettes, and satire, Qiu Miaojin's prose style offers a radical self-inquiry, illustrating a process of liberation from the strictures of gender. This powerful and poignant masterpiece of social defiance is a testament to the singular voice of contemporary Chinese literature.
With its innovative narrative structure and incisive prose, Notes of a Crocodile is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in queer literature, coming-of-age stories, and social commentary.
