Yang Shuang-zi's Taiwan Travelogue just won the International Booker Prize, and i thought id share the cover of the Japanese edition
台湾漫遊鉄道のふたり
I also really like the cover for this one, 四維街一号に暮らす五人 (Five People Who Live at 1 Shii Street), which has not been translated into English yet
Yang Shuang-zi's work is much more widely available in Japan; her English-language Wikipedia page doesn't even have a list of her works, translated or otherwise, and I think the one that won the Booker is the only one that's been translated into English.
I also want to add for personal reasons that Yang Shuang-zi is married to her wife, as Taiwan legalized marriage equality in 2019. I love to see queer women winning.
