新寶島生詞-- 第一章：閃回

大家好！It's been a while since I really posted on this blog, but I just finished reading 台北人/Taipei People after a very long time and am starting a new book. 新寶島/The Formosa Exchange is a novel by 黃崇凱 Huang Chong-Kai that won the 2021 Taiwan Literature Award and the 2021 Openbook Award. The premise of the book is that one day, for no conceivable reason, the residents of Taiwan and Cuba spontaneously switch places. The rest of the story follows multiple Taiwanese and Cuban protagonists as they adjust to their new realities. I know I won't keep up with my flashcards once the semester starts, so I'll be posting my vocab here instead!
