"Family Writing is usually related to its author’s self-identity. Therefore, when comparing related works of family writing from Taiwanese literature, researchers typically conduct a closer examination to determine whether in addition to clues surrounding the establishment of the author's sense of self during his or her formative years there also exist other backgrounded self-identities, including paternal and matrilineal lineages, or even the identity of the ethnic group in the island of Taiwan.However, in Taiwanese literary works of family writing from 2010 to 2019, it is apparent that the literature reflects a greater desire to expose the wounds of personal growth, entanglements between family members and emotional scars which neither time can heal, nor for which writing can offer a rebirth.This study focuses on four prosaic works of family writing - Heart Mandala (2017) by Ping Lu born in the 1950s, Why Not Seriously Sorrow (2014-2015) by John Sheng Kuo born in the 1960s, and The Making of an Ordinary Woman (2016) by E Jiang born in the 1970s, and Taipei Family, Girls shall not exist (2019) by Ping Yao Lee born in the 1980s - to observe the interaction between the revealing of the one’s injuries and opportunities at healing afterwards in family writing by centering analysis on family intrigue, the house, and the private self. What is the relationship between the“self-identity”that these authors hold dear and the scars of growing up? What clues regarding family harmony or disharmony are revealed in the text? How can the house be depicted as a domain in which the private self and family members linger between love and hate? Moreover, how is exposing the wound and the process of healing and rebirth related to struggle and entanglements? This research addresses these above questions and themes through its investigation of prosaic family writing in Taiwan from 2010 to 2019." |
