Chang Kuei-hsing

Chang Kuei-hsing was born in 1956 in Sarawak, in northern Borneo. He left in 1976 to study at National Taiwan Normal University, from which he graduated in English in 1980, the year of his first collection; he settled on the island, became a naturalised citizen there and taught English in secondary school. His novelistic work, nourished by the Borneo forest and the history of the Chinese of Malaysia, has won him prizes in Taiwan and Malaysia, then, in 2023, the Newman Prize for Chinese Literature, awarded in the United States.
