JENNA TANG, TRANSLATOR OF LIN YI-HAN’S NOVEL, FANG SI-CHI’S FIRST LOVE PARADISE
Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise: "The most
influential book of Taiwan's #MeToo movement-a
heartbreaking account of sexual violence and a remarkable
reinvention of the trauma plot, turning the traditional Lolita
narrative upside down as it explores women's vulnerability,
victimization, and the lengths they will go to survive."
