About the author

Zhu Zhu is a writer about whom little public information is available, and four of her works are held in this collection. Judging from the titles on record, her writing spans two fields: modern poetry and social fiction. The poetry collection The Sea on My Body: Selected Poems of Zhu Zhu takes the sea as its central image, conveying a personal, introspective lyricism, while the two-volume novel Surgeon's Story, published in full in upper and lower parts, shows that she can also handle longer narrative works close to real professional and public life. Placing poetry alongside fiction gives her work both a concentrated lyrical quality and an expansive social observation, covering a considerable range of subjects. Since details such as her dates of birth and death, nationality, and education cannot be verified, no speculation is offered here; this sketch of her writing is drawn solely from the works in the collection, for readers' reference.
