TSUNG, WILLIAM. Dreaming in Chinese. Memoirs from a Taiwanese Prison. Prosperous Cat Publishing, 2023, stated First Edition, ix, 237pp., . An act of resistance and self-preservation; an ode to the resilient human spirit. "The punishment should reflect the crime, and no crime justifies the exploitation of prison labor." One can tell a lot about a country from the way it treats its most affluent citizens; one can tell a whole lot more from the way it treats its lowest class citizens. William Tsung's memoir goes on the offensive, toe-to-toe with the Taiwanese penal system. The memoir captures the grim reality that Taiwanese prisoners experience day-to-day for multiple years and for some, even decades.

Dreaming in Chinese challenges the reader's understanding of fair punishment by highlighting the corruption of a system that benefits from prisoners' forced labor. ISBN 9798987452707.…
