Sinopsis

LÅìa Hô (also Lai He, 1894-1943) was a pioneering writer from Taiwan often called the âÇÖfather of New Taiwanese LiteratureâÇÖ. As a doctor during the colonial period in Taiwan, Loa witnessed the cruelty of Japanese rule and wrote stories which display both his sense of justice and social insight. His writing often utilized irony and satire to criticize the status quo, and his work provides a fascinating window into the struggle for Taiwanese self-determination during the early twentieth century.Scales of Injusticeácontains the complete fiction of Loa Hô, with an expert introduction from Pei-yin Lin and explanatory notes by translator Darryl Sterk.
