The successful author and sinologist Stephan Thome has lived in Taiwan for the past 12 years. He writes novels with a local perspective, and most recently published „Pflaumenregen“ (Plum Rain) a book set during the period of Japanese colonial rule over the island. Interviewed by Fabian Peltsch, Thome talks about how he experiences the current tense situation on the island, what he wishes for Taiwan, and what he thinks of the occasional accusation of cultural appropriation.
