In 1995, the young Taiwanese woman writer Qiu Miaojin committed suicide in Paris’s Montmartre district, leaving behind the autobiographical novel LAST WORDS IN MONTMARTRE. Two decades later, the novel was published in English by the prestigious New York Review Books, bringing Qiu renown in Western literary circles and quickly prompting translations into other European languages. Qiu is considered the first openly lesbian novelist in the history of Chinese literature; her debut novel, NOTES OF A CROCODILE, became a “Bible” for the Taiwanese lesbian community and an underground classic in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with an official edition finally published in 2012. DEATH IN MONTMARTRE travels through Taiwan, Paris, and New York to trace the life of this literary star who enjoyed fame only after her death, interviewing literary masters from Taiwan, France, and the U.S. while discussing LGBTQ culture and lesbian literature from a perspective of equality.

每一夜，小说家和他自己搏斗，在斗室内，像挖掘壕沟那样地起运着胸膛内的土……《寻找背海的人》以年轻小说家寻觅的踪迹，串起王文兴的文学生涯。图书馆内密排的书架，校园参差的花树与歧路，对艺术的敏锐感受和一己之见，犹如雕凿精神的枣核那样，精工地将情思翻译为记号，再翻译为文字。王文兴展现了一个信守文字信仰、珍重对待写作、以缓慢换取深刻的文学身影。
