內容簡介
一位台灣作家英文書寫的文學之旅
Self Writeous presents a writer’s journey from his born motherland, Taiwan, to his reborn motherland, New York City, with many places in between. During this bicultural and bilingual transformation, C.K. Hugo Chung uses his writing to explore the quintessence of identity. Through personal essays, poetry, and short stories, he unflinchingly reveals his kaleidoscopic observations on arts, family, history, literature, politics, and sexuality. In this intimate collection, his writeousness is not just a play on words; it manifests his poetic exploration of creative and personal freedom.
這本書是透過作家的細膩書寫，台灣和紐約兩地多樣主題跳躍交錯，與中英文穿插的寫作語法，呈現對身分認同的探索之旅。從詩歌，散文，到短篇小說，每篇創作裡他都試圖去挖掘與探索身為一個人，如何看待創作，家庭，歷史，文學，政治，性別等不同議題，並找出自己身處其中的定位。
自主書寫，不單單是個人創作抒發，也是鍾政光對文學創作的自由與解放。
