The anthology of taiwan indigenous literature - Short Stories by Chang fang-mingMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A collections of short stories, which were sort of hit or miss. Some were basically a list of customs and beliefs of a tribe, with a semi-story as a sort of excuse to name them all. Also, it's hard to retain much since pretty much each short story deals with a different tribe.
Still, interesting for those who wish to know more about the indigenous Taiwanese. I was also quite happy that one of the stories dealt with Orchid island, since it's hard to find their stories, and they're somewhat different from the other tribes.
All in all, however, short stories don't seem to delve deep enough to really get a feel for each tribe.
