Tommy Tan is a man who wears many hats: reporter, historical researcher, documentary filmmaker, translator, and bookseller. He is the author of The Rocking Sky, which, drawing on extensive interviews, narrates the firsthand experiences and stories of the ROC Air Force’s first generation of officers. He has also translated works of crime fiction and fantasy, and previously ran Murder Ink, Taiwan’s first genre-based fiction bookstore, in Taipei City. Sunset Over Dadaocheng is Tan’s first long-form novel.
