He lost just about everything. Now, he'll do everything it takes to
get it back...
Amid the economic and cultural upheaval taking place in Taiwan in
the mid-twentieth century, the narrator of Nobody finds success in
the emerging plastics industry. With a booming business and growing
family, he appears to have it all. Then problems at the business
reverberate through his personal life. With unpaid debts, the
book's unnamed subject finds himself on the run from the
authorities-wanted under a cruel law that carries prison terms for
bad checks. Add to that a philandering lifestyle destined to
complicate matters, and the stage is set for a dramatic shift in
fortunes.
At once startling and deeply moving, Nobody details one man's
devastating slide into emotional and financial turmoil-and his
unceasing drive to get back on track. Through it all, a series of
lovers will prove to be his most steadfast allies. But this richly
detailed and true-life work is also a rare peek inside an era of
Taiwanese business and culture, where strict precepts on behavior
and mores mask a climate in which even the slightest missteps carry
severe consequences...
