Happy pub day to GHOST TOWN 🎉 ⁣ Keith Chen, the second son of a traditional Taiwanese family of seven, flees the oppression of his home country for Berlin in the hope of finding acceptance and freedom as a young gay man. The novel begins a decade later, when Chen has just been released from prison for killing his boyfriend. He is about to return to his family’s village, a poor and desolate place. His parents are gone, his sisters married, mad, or dead. As the story unfurls, we learn what tore this family apart and the truth behind the murder of Chen’s boyfriend. Told in myriad voices, living and dead, and moving through time with deceptive ease, GHOST TOWN weaves a mesmerizing web of family secrets and superstition in a search for answers.⁣ ⁣ ⭐ “At once vibrant and tartly observant, Chen’s tour de force—a Taiwan Literature Award winner—reveals how we all hold onto the ghosts of the past... A highly recommended story of past, identity, and family." – Library Journal⁣ ⁣ Get your copy at the link in our bio!
