內容介紹

This is not entirely a work of fiction. 
Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is a tragedy.

 

The Goddess Buffet is one of the most talked-about books in Taiwan in 2020. It has had an enormous impact and has compelled society to reconsider the bitter truth of gender equality. Novelist Liu Chih-yu observed that women, in their daily lives, are still trapped in a bitter prison, constructed unconsciously or intentionally by men, or even by other women. Liu Chih-yu shattered the sugarcoated illusion of gender equality with compelling storytelling.

 

In these stories, you will find real women exhaustedly trying to survive: a woman must confront her classmate who molested her during her school years at a reunion party; a mother witnesses sexual harassment on the train and ponders the strategy to rescue the young victim; a middle-aged feminist professor is worried because she doesn’t know what to do if others find out about her affair with a 20-year-old student; a goddess who has lived for more than a thousand years but cannot escape being a victim of date rape; there are other women in the stories who might remind you of a friend in real life struggling with similar problems.

 

The Goddess Buffet will lead you into a malicious world where you may not realize you have already played a part in it. A book that encourages hope and change.

 

Includes the following short stories: “Class Reunion”, “F**k Christine”, “Chang’e Regrets”, “Someone Else’s Child”, “Islet in the River”, “Instruction Manuels for Lychees”, “The Goddess Buffet”, “Dreams of the Train”
