About the author
Lu Jian is an author about whom very limited public information is available. Two of his works are currently included in the collection, namely The Thin Man and Cold Enough to Snow. Judging from the common categories, his writing touches on both suspense and mystery fiction and foreign literature, a combination that suggests his work may combine the building of suspense with a literary quality of expression. With only these two works at hand, it is difficult to judge the overall trajectory and full style of his writing, but what can be confirmed is that he is not an author who relies on quantity: his output is limited, while the subjects he addresses span a certain range. For readers who wish to learn about him, public information is limited, and his dates of birth and death, nationality, education, and writing career cannot be verified; it is therefore more appropriate to begin with the choice of subject matter and narrative approach in The Thin Man and Cold Enough to Snow, and to appreciate the balance he strikes between a suspenseful atmosphere and literary texture. Should more works or materials come to light, a fuller picture of the author may emerge.
