"A landmark destined to be the standard reference for many years to come." -- William Tay, professor emeritus, University of California, San Diego
Sylvia Li-chun Lin is the Notre Dame Assistant Professor of Chinese at the University of Notre Dame. Her research interests include Republican culture and literary journals, language and identity in Taiwan, and commemoration of atrocity.

The Rocky Mountain Review
