About the author
Li Er is a contemporary Chinese author whose publicly available personal information remains limited; details such as his birth year, native place, and education have yet to be confirmed. One work by him is included in this collection, How a Writer Is Made, which is classified as a classic work. The title suggests that the book turns its attention to literary creation itself and to the formation of a writer's identity, carrying a tone of self-examination and observation of the writing profession. Such subject matter usually requires the author to have a close understanding of the writing process and is often developed through restrained narration and a reflective style. Because verifiable material is limited, a systematic assessment of his overall body of work is not yet possible. Readers may begin with this book to see how he approaches the themes of literature and writing, and may watch for future updates to public information.
