About the author

Yu Kexun is an author about whom limited public information is available. Two of his works are included in the collection: Selected Literary Criticism of Yu Kexun and Mr. Zhu's Love, with common categories covering literary appreciation and social fiction. These two works suggest that his writing spans both criticism and creative fiction: on one hand, he reads and discusses literary works in the form of literary criticism; on the other, he turns his novelist's eye to social life and tells stories with a flavor of worldly affairs. This parallel practice of criticism and creation gives his writing both the calm gaze of an analyst and a careful observation of human relations and social manners. As far as the available materials show, details of his life, nationality, and dates of birth and death remain unclear, making it difficult to introduce his background further. Readers who wish to understand his writing may begin with the two works mentioned above and appreciate his different emphases in literary appreciation and in narratives on social themes.
