Nightclubs for Literature: Bookstore Culture in Taiwan

Charles will spend two weeks in Taipei in the summer of 2019, visiting various independent bookstores and retail bookstore chains. He will investigate the boom of bookstore culture in Taiwan by interviewing employers and customers at bookstores. He plans to compile these findings and the individuals’ stories into an artistic book of articles and interviews, as well as a reading list of book recommendations from his interviewees.
