About This Novel
Where is your hometown, if history abandons you? Luo Yijun's classic work started the wave of Taiwanese family history writing in the new century. "The Last Name of the Moon" is a classic work about family history by the novelist Luo Yijun. It was selected as one of the "Top Ten Books of the Year" by Taiwan United Daily News' "Scholar" and China Times' "Open Book" in 2000. Different from the heavy recollection of the history of the father's generation in ordinary Taiwanese family stories, "The Moon Surname" uses a joking and relaxed narrative tone, and in one scene after another like a stage setting, the repressed man can constantly imagine and even reenact the absurd scene at that historical moment. In the complicated, gorgeous and resigned feelings of family and country, there is always one person who is left out of consideration.
