Taiwan Blog Transmissions David Barry Temple

Taiwan Blog Transmissions, are non-fictional accounts of places and people the author had met. The book is divided into three parts: "Taiwan Culture" stories are about the unique situations of life in Taiwan from the prospective of an American Jew from the diaspora, "Food & Travel" pieces chosen from travel reviews he shared internationally on TripAdvisor, and "Labor & Politics" articles that highlight his spirit of social activism that he carried to Taiwan from New York City. The stories are uncompromisingly non-mainstream. There has never been a collection of stories about people and places in Taiwan cutting to the quick, no holds barred. Mr. Temple exposes the pretensions of expats and shows the reader life in Taiwan. He lays bare anti-worker policies of the Taiwanese government with one eye on the island's lurking eight hundred pound gorilla; the United States.
