Meet the author: Terao Tetsuya with translator Kevin Wang

Author Terao Tetsuya presents his debut short story collection Spent Bullets. This book explores the struggles of tech professionals in a competitive world, as well as the emotional experiences of gay individuals.

Set in Taiwan and the Silicon Valley, Spent Bullets is a collection of linked stories that explore the meaning of success and the purpose of existence, centered on the short life and long shadow of an engineering genius who descends deeper into despair while rising higher on the professional ladder.
