About the author

Tang Nuo is a Taiwanese writer whose work centers on reading, language and literature. His personal information is limited in publicly available sources, but the seven titles represented here show him moving across essays, language and writing, classics and literary appreciation, writing about books as well as about the methods and pleasures of reading. The Story of Writing turns to the origins and meanings of Chinese characters, while Rereading: Meeting 14 Writers in a Café revisits famous authors and works in essay form. The End and Before My Eyes: Wandering in the World of the Zuo Tradition begin from classics and ancient texts and unfold into extended reflection and roaming. His prose is unhurried and expansive, favoring close reading within everyday settings and turning reading experience into accessible narrative, giving him a certain influence among readers of literary essays and general writing on reading.
