Taipei Women

Taipei Women, a collection of ten stories, from realistic and psychological angles, vividly portrays some lonely women in Taipei. Women in Taipei many be happy or unhappy, but many of them suffer from loneliness. There is loneliness in youth, married life and in old age. In fact, despite the progress in science and convenience in transportation, being lonely, to some extend, is a universal feeling of modern people. Taipei Women has rightly taken its place as one of Gloria Kuo Liang-hui's masterpieces and indeed as one of the masterpieces of modern Chinese literature.
