凯岚

Kai Lan is a Chinese author about whom limited public information is available; two works by this author are currently included in the collection. Judging from the titles on record, Kai Lan's writing spans documentary literature and foreign literature. One of the works, Prudence: Pound — Father and Mentor, deals with the American poet Ezra Pound and is a documentary-style work connected with a figure in foreign literature; the other, Ruth's Journey, falls under the same categories. The two books differ in subject, yet both show the author's attention to personal experience and to cross-cultural literary topics. Because reliable records of birth and death dates, education, and writing career are unavailable, a full assessment of the author's style and overall influence is difficult. Readers may treat these works as introductory reading on the relevant figures and subjects, to be supplemented as further information becomes available.
