520    Longlisted, Man Booker International Prize, 2018  Six-time
       Winner of the China Times Open Book Award and 'Author of 
       the Year', Eslite Bookstore  A writer embarks on an epic 
       quest in search of his missing father's stolen bicycle and
       soon finds himself caught up in the strangely intertwined 
       stories of Lin Wang, the oldest elephant who ever lived, 
       the soldiers who fought in the jungles of South-East Asia 
       during the Second World War and the secret worlds of the 
       butterfly handicraft makers and antique bicycle fanatics 
       of Taiwan.  The Stolen Bicycle is both a majestic 
       historical novel and a profound, startlingly intimate 
       meditation on memory, family and home. Award-winning 
       novelist Wu Ming-Yi is also an artist, designer, 
       photographer, literary professor, butterfly scholar, 
       environmental activist, traveller and blogger, and is 
       widely considered the leading writer of his generation in 
       his native Taiwan. A long-time resident of Taipei, Darryl 
       Sterk has interests in Taiwan's local literature and 
       indigenous cultures. He translated the first of Wu Ming-
       Yi's novels to be published in English, The Man with the 
       Compound Eyes.   Taiwan Literary Award, 2015 (Taiwan) 
       China Times Open Book Award (Six-time winner, including 
       2015) (Taiwan) Eslite Bookseller Award for Author of the 
       Year, 2015 (Taiwan) Dream of the Red Chamber Award, Judge 
       Recommendation 2016 (Hong Kong) UDN Grand Literary Award, 
       2016 (Taiwan) Publishers Weekly International Hot Book 
       Properties, 2015 Turnaround Favourite Fiction of 2017  'A 
       work of astonishing energy, in which Wu beautifully 
       touches on loss, life and death, fate and destiny, 
       establishing emotional connections between memory and 
       objects, and between the natural world and war... a novel 
       that provides comfort and reconciliation from a wounded 
       past.' Thinking Taiwan  'The novel, inspired by his love 
       for bicycles and Taiwanese history, brings readers back to
       a simpler time when life moved more slowly and people 
       spent more time face-to-face with friends and neighbors. 
       Riding a bike allowed people to appreciate and digest the 
       details of the world around them.' Taipei Times   'A 
       profoundly moving novel, such is the power of words and 
       depth of feeling by Taiwanese author Wu Ming-Yi...He turns
       events into linguistic gold with his poetic, dreamlike 
       language.' Good Reading  'A visionary ride through flame-
       scorched lands and machine-clutching trees and 
       metamorphoses into metal and earth..."World is crazier and
       more of it than we think,/Incorrigibly plural", Louis 
       MacNeice wrote...Multiply that by 10 or so and you get 
       some sense of Wu's astonishing, often-affecting 
       kaleidoscope.' NZ Listener  'Unusual insights and vividly 
       observed detail abound in this witty and sensitive story.'
       Toowoomba Chronicle 'Beautifully written and beautifully 
       translated. . . . [Ming-Yi] guides us to see the entirety 
       of experience as bumping flotsam in an unending ocean of 
       life colliding and making a mess of things or making 
       something new. . . . Lyric, simple, soft, the story crests
       and recedes and comes back again.' The Bloomington Sun-
       Current  '[Ming-Yi's] rollercoaster of a story is about 
       wilderness, wildness, wonderment, love. . . . [The Man 
       with the Compound Eyes includes] perhaps the best writing 
       to ever come out of a Taiwan novel.' Taipei Times  'A 
       gift. . . . Ming-Yi is a naturalist as well as a 
       storyteller, and it is perhaps his greatest achievement 
       that this novel creates a sense of solidarity not only 
       between his human...
