Focusing on the developing countries of Asia, Africa and South America, chapters explore the diverse livelihoods of people in these areas and the impact of land-water management on the environment.

        THE DUCKS IN THE LAGOON

        by Chu Yuhsun

        One semester shy of graduation, unforeseen circumstances force teaching intern Ho Po-Ssu to move to a new school to complete his internship. The new private high school is unusual – even during winter break a team of student volunteers stand guard at the front gates, and inside, all students are required to address the school’s founder and former principal as “Master”.   Moved by the struggles of a handful of special needs students, Ho Po-Ssu organizes them into an odd-jobs crew, hoping to better integrate them into campus life. His charges include Fa-Ko, who struggles with even the most basic tasks; Hui, an unapologetic class-cutter; Hsiang, who, despite his challenges, still dreams of getting top marks; and Ning who refuses to don a school uniform.   Not only are Ho Po-Ssu’s well-intentioned efforts dismissed, when a scandal rocks the school, the administration sets up Ho Po-Ssu to take the fall. Consumed with outrage, he watches helplessly as the circumstances that ended his first internship once again unfold before his eyes. Yet, far more disturbing is the way innocent students are sacrificed in the power struggle that follows.   Author Chu Yuhsun’s writing is marked by tight pacing and quicksilver prose. Chapters are interspersed with remembered dreams, providing an absurd foil to the unimaginable circumstances of Ho Po-Ssu’s waking life. Themes of integrity, outrage, injustice, and the dangers of unchecked authority pulse through the novel, as the dark tendrils of a corrupt system threaten to smother youthful innocence and idealism.

        by Rimui

        * 2020 Japan International Manga Award (Gold)   In search of herself, Lin Chu-sheng quits university and ends up living and working for a funeral director. From her shock at seeing her first corpse, to becoming a practiced yet still compassionate employee, her experiences help her realize who she really is, and what she really wants.     In search of her dreams, Lin Chu-sheng quits university, leaves home and starts working for a funeral director. Her first job: a decomposing corpse. And before the shock of seeing her first dead body has passed, she is set to work, cleaning floors and washing bodies. It might sound like simple work, but she has plenty to learn…   And while she may work with the dead, most of her time is spent dealing with the emotions of those still living: a father unable to accept his son’s suicide; a bigamist’s families meeting only after his death; a mother unwilling to let a child go; and parents unsure if their son’s body will ever be found. Lin witnesses the full range of human experience and reflects on her own family and life.   This is a story of the real emotions lurking beneath the fussy details of a funeral, told from the perspective of a new employee. Rimui visited funeral homes as part of the research for this book and draws on traditional Chinese funeral practices. Moving and meticulously researched, this is a compelling tale of a unique profession.
