WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE

海邊的房間

Author Sabrina Huang
Translator Jeremy Tiang

Welcome to the Dollhouse draws together thirteen stories written between 2002 and 2012. Some of them have already won prizes. Reading them is like returning home to a familiar old lane, somewhere deep in the heart of the city. Sabrina Huang’s eyes are focused on the detail, the people who populate her fictional world, the doctor who makes his step-daughter sick and moves her to the sea so that she won’t leave him; the fortune teller and the young child with cancer; and the person who waits by the traffic lights to see if the green man will fall down…

Huang’s prose is clean, cold almost, with a sharp satirical edge. Her work often addresses the theme of alienation and focuses on those in the lower classes of society. She may not be a prolific writer, but her output never fails to impress, earning her a much-devoted fan base.
