| Abstract |
In contemporary writings, literature genres have been springing up like mushrooms. However, food writings are the most difficult to be categorized into a category of literature; therefore, the definition is the most diversified. The dimensions of food writings range from descriptions of personal eating experiences or the culinary processes, to memories of the past or another person. In the field of contemporary food writings, excellent writers emerge in large numbers. This study focuses on the theme of “hometown taste” in Han Liang-lu’s food writings. Han Liang-lu’s food writings focus on “flavors”, which center on the pursuit to find the identity of a place. Her “hometown taste” is combined with the concept of space (hometown) and “taste”. Her food writings are adventures of tastes, which enables her to be nostalgic of her hometown and family. |
