Signed
Taipei Story
A new signed first edition of Taipei Story by R. F. Kuang, presented as a deluxe limited hardcover in its illustrated dust jacket. The book is flat signed by Kuang on the publisher’s designated signed-edition page, with no personalization visible. The copyright page states First Edition, and the complete number line confirms a first printing.
Set during an unforgettable summer in Taipei, the novel follows college freshman Lily Chen as she attends an intensive Chinese-language program in hopes of connecting with her inherited culture. Difficult classes, strained relationships and the death of her grandfather lead Lily into a moving search through family memories, unspoken history and the complicated meaning of home. Kuang blends coming-of-age fiction with themes of grief, language, diaspora and cultural dislocation.
This collectible edition features decorative stenciled sprayed page edges and retains the gold “Signed First Edition” sticker on the dust jacket. The authoritative seller description identifies the book as new, and no additional defects or odors have been disclosed.
The book will be carefully protected for packaging to help preserve the dust jacket, signature page and decorative edge treatment in transit.
