Description
Taipei at Daybreak is a powerful coming-of-age novel that explores the tumultuous conflict between personal and political forces in early 2010s East Asia. Against the backdrop of social protests, QQ's journey to find connection and meaning becomes increasingly entwined with his own self-destructive impulses. As he navigates the depths of the Taiwanese night, QQ must confront the ghosts of its repressive history and the emptiness that threatens to consume him. With a unique blend of reportage, memoir, and meditation, this novel offers a spare yet evocative portrayal of the unseen forces that propel people to the edge. Through QQ's story, Taipei at Daybreak sheds light on the complexities of identity, activism, and the human condition, set against the vibrant and often fraught landscape of modern Taiwan.
