Self Writeous presents a writer’s journey from his born motherland, Taiwan, to his reborn motherland, New York City, with many places in between. During this bicultural and bilingual transformation, C.K. Hugo Chung uses his writing to explore the quintessence of identity. Through personal essays, poetry, and short stories, he unflinchingly reveals his kaleidoscopic observations on arts, family, history, literature, politics, and sexuality. In this intimate collection, his writeousness is not just a play on words; it manifests his poetic exploration of creative and personal freedom.
TWG Press is an independent publishing company for locally developed English literature in Taiwan. Supported by Taipei Writer’s Group, an English literary collective of both expatriate and local writers, the company was incorporated in 2016. Since 2014, TWG Press has published five anthologies, available in both electronic formats (via Amazon) and paperbacks.

I started my literary writing career in 2006 when I still lived in New York City. I’d like to use a different language to express myself, and explore my lifelong obsession of individual identity in a bicultural aspect. This collection represents a summary of my creative journey for the last twelve years. I plan to continue it by revising the book every few years as a manifestation of self writeousness, inspired by Walt Whitman and his Leaves of Grass.
