In his first book to be translated into English, Taiwanese author Cheng Ch'ing-wen offers 12 moving tales about city and village, man and woman, child and parent. Like the "twisted apples" of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, another powerful book about small-town life, many of Ch'ing-wen's characters are subtly deformed by suffering, loneliness, or misunderstanding. "Three-Legged Horse" follows "White-Nosed Raccoon," driven to become a Japanese informer after his own people relentlessly mock his birthmark. "He wanted this prison cell to contain the whole of society," he concludes, while serving as a janitor for the police. Later, after his wife's death and the Japanese defeat, the guilt-stricken man begins a strange kind of penance, carving lame horses that "emanated pain and remorse." In "The River Suite," the "best boatman in Old Town" is commended twice for his bravery in saving drowning neighbors, yet never works up the courage to speak to the woman he loves. A tyrannical mother-in-law separates the protagonist of "Autumn Night" from her husband. The wife undertakes a heroic nighttime journey to visit him on his birthday, only to turn around once she arrives so she won't be missed. Rendered with quiet, Chekhovian simplicity, these are stories of a vanishing world--and yet they resonate with universal truths. --Mary Park.
