AB - During the Japanese rule, there was an abundance of Japanese writers using colonial Taiwan as the backdrop for their work. However, after Japan’s surrender and Taiwan’s independence, such writers became nearly invisible. With recent relations between Taiwan and Japan drawing closer, novels and films tracing the modern relationship of the two nations are continually being introduced. Tsushima Yuko’s 2008 novel Too Savage and Yoshida Shuichi’s 2009 work Road also sprout from the shift in the two countries’ and East Asia’s historic and political atmosphere. The two books are similar in the sense that they both use countries as the backdrop and recall colonial times. However, the perspectives of the two greatly differ. This paper will compare the meaning behind the narrative strategies that the two authors take in remembering colonial Taiwan and the relationship of the two countries. It will be quite meaningful for Koreans to research the recent works of Japanese writers depicting Taiwan, as Korea also shares a similar modern history. It will also be a good opportunity to ruminate on the entangled modern history of the East Asian region and review relevant literature and culture.
