Solo Dance
Solo Dance | By Li Kotomi | Translated by Arthur Reiji Morris
An important queer voice from East Asia’s millennial generation.
Cho Norie, twenty-seven and originally from Taiwan, is working an office job in Tokyo.
While her colleagues worry about the economy, life-insurance policies, marriage, and children, she is forced to keep her unconventional life hidden - including her sexuality and the violent attack that prompted her move to Japan. There is also her unusual fascination with death.
Solo Dance depicts the painful coming of age of a gay person in Taiwan and corporate Japan. This striking debut is an intimate and powerful account of a search for hope after trauma.
