Ko Tsung-ming (柯宗明), who won the prestigious award for his novel “Tan Ting-pho’s password”(陳澄波密碼) in a ceremony held in Taipei, said Taiwan is not short of novelists, but lacks significantly in books about Taiwanese history.
Held for the third consecutive year, the finalists this year consisted of works by Chan Ming-ju (詹明儒), Ming Yu-ping (明毓屏) and Chang Ing-ming (張英珉), who consequently took the prize for excellence with his novel titled “Ah Hsiang” (阿香).
According to the foundation, no top prize winner for the Taiwan History Novel Awards had been announced in the two previously events due to the lack of quality entries.
