AB - Taiwan author Yang Shuangzi's(楊双子) novel No. 1, Siwei Street(四維街一號, 2023) is set in a Japanese colonial-era house and follows women graduate students from different backgrounds who recreate recipes from a century-old cookbook, forging solidarity and growth in the process. The novel demonstrates how a space bearing the remnants of colonial rule is reappropriated as an open space through multilayered communication among women, and how the act of cooking and sharing food transcends the everyday to become a form of historical negotiation that connects the cultural memory of colonial-era Taiwan to the present.
Furthermore, No. 1, Siwei Street foregoes the conventional grammar of queer narratives that resist heteronormativity, instead rendering fluid relationships among women through an accumulation of solidarity built on the sharing of space and food — a sensibility characteristic of the *yuri* genre. In doing so, the novel achieves a literary feat: by bringing together history and the *yuri* genre, it recovers the lives of women rendered invisible by male-centered and heteronormative historical accounts.
