Another World in the MotelAuthor: CHANG Ching-Hung
Publisher: Chiu Ko Publishing Co., Ltd. Published Date: 2011/05 【Synopsis】 Chang Ching-hung’s Another World in the Motel is a ballsy anti-Bildungsroman. The protagonist, Wu Chi-lun, describes himself as afflicted with a bad case of angst. He dreams of buying a garden motel and turning it into a school of conversation, a kind of contemporary salon. Motel City is an anatomy of the city of Taichung seen through the eyes of a seventeen year old. Chang Ching-hung’s novel is both plain and unruly. Its subject matter, urban experience, is plain, but it also displays a youthful rebelliousness against the routinization and institutionalization of crime and porn, a defiant attitude that reminds us that the world was not always thus. 【About the Author】 Born in 1969 in Taichung, Chang ching-hung graduated from the Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, and received his M.A. in Chinese Literature from National Taiwan University.
