About the author

Ting-Kuo Wang 王定國

Born in Lukang in 1955, Wang now lives in Taichung. He started writing at the age of seventeen, and from eighteen his short stories began winning prizes all over the island, including the China Times and Unitas awards. He has worked in fields as diverse as building design, surveying and advertising.

His early writings were love songs to nature and youth, but in his twenties he took a distinctly more politically conscious turn, mixing reportage and commentary with novels about the downtrodden in society. He stopped writing for many years while he built up his own company, until 2013, when he returned to widespread acclaim with a series of books including So Hot, So Cold and Who Blinked in the Dark. His newest novel My Enemy's Cherry Tree won multiple awards.

Reviews

[Morris Yen · Rating 4 out of 5]

雖然文字寫得引人入勝，但許多安排沒有妥善的結尾，挺可惜的
雖是以「我」的角度寫成，但自白的成分感覺還是太多了

一個考不上律師執照的年輕人，一個出現後又突然消失的女孩，一個事業有成日進斗金的大律師。表面上的他們，和他們真正的樣子，有多大的差異。「所有不完整的人生都不是我們故意的」。
