Description

Letter from Taipei is a picture book that traces color and its absence and attempts to document the extraordinary in the ordinary in the streets of Taiwan. Through photos and text, it is a spiritual inquiry inspired by a city that conceals its beauties in alleyways and small corners.

Influenced by the author's experiences teaching English as a foreign language, the text is written in simple language, in both English and Chinese, in an attempt to form a bridge between cultures. Though the book commemorates the particularity of the city of Taipei, it is a book for anyone who has ever been lonely in a strange place and anyone who enjoys hunting for beauty in unexpected places.

A preface in Chinese is written by Han Paoteh.
