About Running Mother and Other Stories (Modern Chinese Literature from Taiwan)

Guo Songfen’s short stories are masterful psychological portraits that play with the echoes of history and the nature of identity. One of the few modernists to truly capture the fallout from such events as the February 28th Incident and the White Terror, Guo Songfen illuminates the quiet core of his characters through a spare and immediate style that is at once a symptom and an allegory of the trauma in which they live.In and “Running Mother, and ” a man is torn between his fear of abandonment and his guilt over leaving his family, and therefore his symbolic home, behind. and “Moon Seal and ” follows a woman caught between traditional and modern worlds. In and “Wailing Moon, and ” a wife learns a shocking secret after her husband’s death, realizing he was never the man she thought him to be. Set in the United States and Taiwan, and “Snow Blind and ” is a multigenerational triptych that portrays the consequences of spiritual malaise, and in and “Brightly Shines the Stars Tonight, and ” a general wrestles with issues of memory and self-perception in the final moments before his execution.Guo Songfen’s stories play with the hazards of miscommunication, the malevolence of human will, the arbitrary nature of fate, and the burden of historical circumstance. As the general discovers, life is a game of chess, the outcome of which is never certain though it might be logically designed. Showcasing the best of Taiwan’s modernist style, these stories are not only an indictment of the human condition but also a powerful comment on the experience of postretrocession Taiwan.
