About the author

Dong Bin is a Chinese writer about whom limited public information is available. The library holds one work by this author, Slow Looking: A One-Person Museum. Judging from the title and its usual classification, the book belongs to literature and to the essay and miscellaneous writing category, offering a personal view of museums and the experience of looking at them. The phrase "slow looking" suggests a leisurely, attentive narrative pace, and the book can be read as an essayistic wander through museums. Because details such as the author's nationality, dates, and biography are not recorded in the library, a full picture of this writer's background and overall body of work cannot yet be drawn. This particular book leans toward cultural observation and personal essay writing, and should appeal to readers interested in museums, exhibition-going, and the essay form.
