Autobiography: A Novel (Taipei: Crown Publishing House, 2000)
《自傳の小說》(台北:皇冠出版,2000)
This is a biography based on the story of Xie Xuehong, the most fiery and proud heroine in Taiwan’s modern history. A born rebel gifted with beauty and intelligence, her life was destined to be one of hardship. By confronting Japanese imperialism, Kuomintang’s feudalism and the Communist dictatorship, she was pursued by the authorities, imprisoned, tortured and finally executed. Even to the bitter end, never once did she abandon her identity as a female revolutionary who was more than ready to die for her beliefs. This complex tapestry of writing in Autobiography: A Novel weaves through history, fiction and the illusion of the both. What it reflects is not merely the life of Xie Xuehong or the power manipulation by female politicians, but, essentially, also the life of women in their collective entirety over the century.

這是一部傳記:以台灣現代史上最斑斕的孤傲花謝雪紅的故事為經緯。滿身反骨、聰敏美麗的她,注定一生顛沛。從反抗日本帝國主義,反抗國民黨封建政權,到反抗中共獨裁統治,以致數度遭通緝、入獄、被刑求,但她始終以不惜以身殉死的女性革命者自許!夾織著複雜多變的文體,梭巡在史料幻像中的《自傳的小說》,映現出的不只是謝雪紅的生平,也不只是女性政客對權力的操控;或許,真正含藏的是百年來女人的一生。
