自西元兩千年以來，外省第二代作家如陳玉慧、郭強生重新銜接台灣戰前與戰後的歷史記憶之集體努力值得重視。郭強生的同志小說《惑鄉之人》以行蹤飄忽的灣生男同性戀松尾森為主角之一，貫串戰前與戰後，從二十一世紀重訪日治時期及戰後記憶，其歷史想像涉及性取向、國族、種族、階級的交纏，本文將探討《惑鄉之人》的歷史想像如何重新銜接台灣戰前與戰後。第一部分探究對於松尾森的多角度描寫以及台日糾葛。第二部分探討小說重返台灣四○年代所涉及的記憶政治。第三部分討論小說所呈現的戰後台灣電影、認同與文化政治的關係。第四部分則是結論

It is noteworthy that second-generation Mainlander writers such as Chen Yuhui and Kuo Chiang-Sheng have shown keen interest in memories that reconnect prewar and postwar Taiwan. Kuo Chiang-Sheng's gay novel Whither Do You Go Home revisits memories of prewar and postwar times, presenting a historical imagination that intertwines sexual orientation with nation, race, and class. This article deals with how Taiwanese historical imagination in Whither Do You Go Home reconnects prewar and postwar Taiwan. The first section explores the novel's multifaceted delineation of Matsuo Shin, a Taiwan-born Japanese homosexual, in relation to the entanglements between Taiwan and Japan. The second section deals with the politics of memory in the novel's revisiting of 1940s Taiwan. The third section discusses how the novel portrays postwar Taiwanese films in relation to identity formation and cultural politics. The fourth section is the conclusion
