About the Author
Qiu Miaojin (1969-1995) was a pioneering Taiwanese author whose introspective and boldly experimental works delved into the complexities of queer identity, love, and existential longing in modern society. Born in Taipei, she studied psychology at National Taiwan University before pursuing further education in France, where she immersed herself in literature and philosophy. Her writing, often drawing from personal experiences, challenged societal norms and explored the intersections of desire and alienation. Tragically passing away at 26, Qiu left an indelible mark on contemporary Asian literature, inspiring generations with her unflinching honesty and innovative narrative forms. Her legacy endures through translations that bring her poignant voice to global audiences.
