Éditions Utopie was founded in 2010 by Yang Ming-Min and Wu Kun-Yung after their studies in France, with a mission to publish works that connect personal insights with social critiques. Through two main series—Psychoanalysis and Critique Socio-Politique—Éditions Utopie explores the intersections of the unconscious, philosophy, politics, and literature. The Psychoanalysis Series stays grounded in clinical practice, featuring French classics, localized writings, and interdisciplinary dialogue.
The most talked-about book in Taiwan, 2020. Novelist Chih Yu Liu broke the sugarcoated illusion of gender equality, indicating women nowadays are still trapped in hell, built unconsciously or intentionally by men or even women. A book that shouts for freedom but brings hope and comfort to people wounded in a man’s world.

ZOOK ISSUE 1 Luka Hatiku
◆ Author
Luka
Born on a mang day in a certain year, he wandered through painting and writing, named after the rain on the day of the mang day, and hoped that his creation would have a good day in the future. I like visual rock music, because this alone can alleviate the pain of depression. When the mood is normal, it is like a twin soul, and it is a crazy child. The main style of painting is watercolor rendering and collage.

Social movements are portrayed by the media as conflicts of interests, breakdowns in social order, government inadequacies, or public discontent. But behind every so-called “incident” is suffering that cannot be counted and shortcomings that laws cannot truly remedy. It is only by seeing past the demands of protestors and past legal regulations that we can truly understand those who stand on the frontline.
Jimmeh Aitch had spent a year in Manila working as a college professor. In this documentary comic book, he recounts his various experiences as a Taiwanese expat in the Filipino metropolitan and also stories from his spouse’s native Manileño family. The sometimes serious topics are often told in Jimmeh’s uniquely humorous ways. Sincere self-reflections can also be found in the stylish black-and-white pages. Overall, expect a portrayal of Manila that is as chaotic as it is vibrant.
