About the author

Xu Jiu is an author about whom limited public information is available. Two works by this author are currently confirmed in the library, with Representative works including Junzi Mengze and Junzi Changjue. Judging from the common categories, Xu Jiu's works span two types: otherworldly continents and prose miscellany, showing an extension of writing across different subjects: on the one hand, narratives set against fictional otherworldly continents; on the other, prose miscellany, a form closer to personal expression and everyday observation. Because basic information such as the author's nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name remains unclear, a complete outline of this author's life and creative trajectory is difficult to draw at present. As far as the two existing works are concerned, what deserves attention about Xu Jiu is the range of subject choices and the attempt to write fictional narrative and prose in parallel. Readers who wish to learn about this author may start with Junzi Mengze and Junzi Changjue and, following the two threads of otherworldly continents and prose miscellany, appreciate the character of this author's writing.
