Readers will surely find Indigenous Writers of Taiwan a delightful reading experience." — Lingchei Letty Chen, assistant professor of Chinese Language and Literature, Washington University in St. Louis
"These writings are valuable in both the ethnographical and the aesthetic sense: holding on to some experiential patterns and expressive modes from the 'old world,' they speak to us in such genuine and distinctive voices that potentially would reorient the very ways we perceive and appreciate literature." — Sung-sheng Yvonne Chang, The University of Texas at Austin, author of Literary Culture in Taiwan: Martial Law to Market Law
