Taiwan Travelogue her sweet and mysterious cousin

her sweet and mysterious cousin

som hun skubbede foran sig med sin fod

båret af Marie Bregendahls vrede over kvindens stilling

De var et kærestepar

men tøjrer hende med vold

Taiwan Travelogue her sweet and mysterious cousinDisguised as a translation of a rediscovered text by a Japanese writer, Taiwan Travelogue is a bittersweet story of love between two women, nested in an artful exploration of language, history and power. Set in May 1938, the young novelist Aoyama Chizuko sails from Japan to Taiwan where her interpreter proffers tantalising glimpses of island life and helps her to taste as much of cuisine as her larger than life appetite can bear.
