Yang Shuang-zi (Chinese: 楊双子; pinyin: Yáng Shuāngzǐ; born 1984) is a Taiwanese writer. Her novel Taiwan Travelogue was translated from Mandarin Chinese into English by Lin King. It won the US National Book Award for Translated Literature in 2024, the Baifang Schell Book Prize for Translated Literature from Chinese Language, and the 2026 International Booker Prize.
Taiwan Travelogue by Yang Shuang-zi is a 10/10 book but the thing that really elevated it for me was this sequence. It articulated how I feel about eg. those weird Westerners who go to the former ostblok specifically to look at former Soviet shite
