Review: The Taipei Chinese PEN—A Quarterly Journal of Contemporary Chinese Literature from Taiwan《中華民國筆會英文季刊─台灣文譯》 Autumn/2010 - No.153

The Taipei Chinese PEN—A Quarterly Journal of Contemporary Chinese Literature from Taiwan《中華民國筆會英文季刊─台灣文譯》 Autumn/2010 - No.153 The Taipei Chinese PEN—A Quarterly Journal of Contemporary Chinese Literature from Taiwan《中華民國筆會英文季刊─台灣文譯》 Autumn/2010 - No.153 by Taipei Chinese PEN
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bookman's, next to NTU in Taipei, has old issues of The Taipei Chinese PEN, so it's great to be able to read these issues with various short stories and some poetry, all in translation. 

This one was dedicated to Shang Qin, who had just passed away, so it was interesting to read about him. Out of the short stories I enjoyed Battle Trains, by Lin Chung-han, since it was an insight into travel within Taiwan back in the 1960s-1980s.
