How can historical documents from the Japanese colonial period be material for novel writing? How do women’s travels in history become the subject of fictional storytelling? Using Taiwan Travelogue as an example, this lecture will cover the journey of creating the “Shōwa period Taiwan Railway Gourmet Tour,” from initial inspiration, concept development, research, and fieldwork to organization, story structure, and the final writing process.
