FictionApril 2020The Piano Tuner
by Kuo Chiang-Sheng(Johnny Kuo)
“In the beginning, we were souls without bodies.” When God planned to give us souls a physical shape, souls lost freedom forever. Our protagonist is a piano tuner with an extraordinary musical gift. Not only does he possess a mastery over musicality and pitch, he is also able to distinguish the distinct characteristics of each piano. A chance encounter in his teen derails the dreams of becoming a professional pianist, leaving him stuck in time against the memories of what has been lost – he is now over forty, unkept, and lacks achievement of any kind. A grieving businessman of over sixty meets the tuner when he is left behind a piano by his wife. The pair become business partners with the plan of dealing second-hand pianos – they embark on a journey to locate a piano in New York. As the journey unfolds, the tuner comes to understand the twists and turns of a love story that is hidden out of sight under the elegant sound of the piano: the love of an older man and his young wife – their love tested against the trials and tribulations of life. He learns that there is a universality to the secrets hidden behind each narrative of love, whether it is between teachers and students, husband and wife, and even in friendship. Their final destination is an old piano cemetery, a whole field of bare, stripped, and abandoned piano remains. This evokes an emotional response from the tuner, as he recognizes it as a dark parallel to the final ruins of emotions. THE PIANO TUNER utilizes musical stories from history, such as Rachmaninoff, Schubert, Richter, and Gould to represent the characters’ thoughts in the story. Kuo Chiang-Sheng’s extensive research is evident: from Richter, the second-hand piano distribution center in Manhattan, to the piano tuner profession, etc. all are set against the sound and backdrop of the everchanging, contemporary media age. Everyone has an innate program for resonance. Some find it in musical instruments, some in singing, while some are more fortunate to find a vibration amid the world, awakening resonance between the past, present, and future. The novel tells a story of sound and emotion, and the medium of communication between the two is the piano. A book filled with sorrow and temperance, Kuo Chiang-Sheng’s first foray into musical fiction leaves one breathless with praise.

Before he can make any sense of what is going on, he is kidnapped, sees his city destroyed and is shot dead. But the end of one life throws him into the middle of another. Ninemann awakes in a new body, in a new time, in a new place – but with all his old memories.

And before the shock of seeing her first dead body has passed, she is set to work, cleaning floors and washing bodies. It might sound like simple work, but she has plenty to learn… And while she may work with the dead, most of her time is spent dealing with the emotions of those still living: a father unable to accept his son’s suicide; a bigamist’s families meeting only after his death; a mother unwilling to let a child go; and parents unsure if their son’s body will ever be found. Lin witnesses the full range of human experience and reflects on her own family and life.

September 2020Postcoloniality and Memories of Japan
Twenty-First-Century Taiwanese Fiction
by Liang-ya Liou
Revisiting Taiwan’s Japanese Period (1895-1945) has become a major feature of twenty-first-century Taiwanese fiction and film. Many contemporary Taiwanese novelists and filmmakers find it important to understand what the Taiwanese (including the aboriginals) thought and believed as well as the structure of feelings they harbored during that period, a period that was denigrated and largely obliterated in official history during postwar Kuomintang’s martial rule. Perhaps just as importantly, these contemporary authors and filmmakers are concerned with how the Taiwanese (including the aboriginals) living through these two periods re-membered the Japanese Period. By contextualizing novels by Shih Shu-ching, Li Ang, Wu Ming-yi, Kuo Chiang-Sheng, and Gan Yao-ming as well as Wei Te-sheng’s feature film Seediq Bale, in tandem with careful readings of these texts, this book argues that these texts can be seen as engaged in a large project of re-memory from a postcolonial perspective. Revisiting Taiwan’s Japanese Period in these texts not only explores pro-Japanese, anti-Japanese sentiments, and ambivalence toward Japan, but highlights an evaluation of Japanese and Kuomintang rule. Reconnecting prewar and postwar Taiwan eventually points to Taiwan’s postcoloniality by suggesting Taiwan is a young nation with its long colonial history, with its people both fighting colonialisms and influenced by colonial legacies.
