About The Stolen Bicycle

<p><i><b>Wu Ming-Yi’s</b>&nbsp;novel about bicycles, elephants and war - which is also a startlingly intimate meditation on memory, family and home. Translated by<b>&nbsp;Darryl Sterk</b>.</i></p><p>A search for his missing father’s stolen bicycle takes author Cheng on an epic quest deep into the secret world of antique bicycle collectors. On the journey, he finds himself caught up in the strangely intertwined stories of Lin Wang, the oldest elephant who ever lived, the soldiers who fought in the jungles of South-East Asia during World War Two and the secret worlds of the butterfly handicraft makers.<br></p><p>"<i>The novel, inspired by his love for bicycles and Taiwanese history, brings readers back to a simpler time when life moved more slowly and people spent more time face-to-face with friends and neighbours. Riding a bike allowed people to appreciate and digest the details of the world around them.</i>"&nbsp; -&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Taipei Times</b></p><p><i>"Unusual insights and vividly observed detail abound in this witty and sensitive story."&nbsp; -&nbsp;&nbsp;</i><b>Toowoomba Chronicle</b></p><p><b>Wu Ming-Yi</b>&nbsp;<i>was born in Taipei, Taiwan, in June 1971&nbsp; He has won the China Times Open Book Award six times.
