Copies of "Elegy of Sweet Potatoes-Stories of Taiwan's White Terror"

Postby StevenCrook » 08 May 2012, 14:28

A friend in Kaohsiung has come by 30 copies of Elegy of Sweet Potatoes -- Stories of Taiwan's White Terror, and wants to sell them. They came from a paper recycler and are as good as new, he says. He's not on forumosa.com; if anyone would like a copy (he talking about NT$150 per copy) please pm me.

You can find a review here: Recollections of the White Terror.

In case you're wondering, it's pure coincidence that I posted the message above at 2.28pm.

Hi Steven,

Is the book in the original Chinese or is it a translation?

The book is in English. I've read it and can recommend it to anyone interested in Taiwan history.

I've read it, too, and can likewise recommend it.
If I prioritized the acquisition of wealth above other purposes in life, I might still have come to Taiwan to study Chinese, but I doubt I would have remained here.
