WINNER OF THE TAIWAN LITERATURE AWARD "An uncompromising,
unsentimental, slyly humorous novel." IRISH TIMES "A haunting drama
of a Taiwanese family's efforts to rise out of poverty." PUBLISHERS
WEEKLY Keith Chen, the desperately yearned for second son of a
traditional Taiwanese family with five daughters, refuses to play
the role his parochial parents would cast him in. Instead, he
chooses to make a life for himself in cosmopolitan Berlin, where he
finally finds acceptance as a young gay man. The novel is set about
a decade later, on Ghost Festival, the Day of Deliverance. After
Keith's release from a maximum security prison, he has nowhere to
go but home. With his parents gone, his siblings married, mad, on
the lam, or dead, there is nothing left for him there, so it seems.
As he explores his uncanny home town, we learn what tore his family
apart, and, more importantly, the truth behind the terrible crime
Keith committed in Germany. Told in a myriad of voices-both living
and dead-and moving through time with deceptive ease, Ghost Town is
a mesmerizing story of family secrets, countryside superstitions,
and the search for identity amid a clash of cultures.
