Impossible to Swallow by C. J. Anderson-Wu is a powerful collection of short stories that delves into the harrowing impact of Taiwan's White Terror-a period of political repression that lasted for decades. Through a series of deeply personal narratives, C. J. Anderson-Wu brings to life the struggles of ordinary people caught in the grip of authoritarian rule, exploring themes of fear, loss, and resilience.

Each story offers a unique perspective on the era, from the plight of political prisoners to the quiet suffering of families left behind. The collection not only preserves the memory of those affected but also serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of freedom. With a blend of historical insight and literary craftsmanship, Impossible to Swallow is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand Taiwan's past and the enduring consequences of state oppression.
