About the author
Dai Zheng is an author about whom little public information is available; three of his works are held in the collection, spanning social science, foreign literature, and social culture. Judging from the titles currently on record, his writing crosses two areas: social observation and literary translation or introduction. On one hand, he attends to social stratification and class mentality, taking up the theme of the "lower-class society" and discussing how a new social stratum emerges and what it implies socially and culturally. On the other hand, he is also involved in translating or introducing foreign literary works, as suggested by The Unspeakable Night. Because no reliable records of his birth and death dates, nationality, education, or professional career are available, his personal biography cannot be established, nor can the specific division between his writing and his translation work be determined. Overall, Dai Zheng's works show a dual interest in social issues and literary texts and may be of reference to readers concerned with social and cultural studies and foreign literature.
