Shum Quanan, born in Hong Kong, has published six books so far, all in Chinese. But in the current years the writer has exerted himself a new way to go on in the name of creativity by transposing the works from his native language to the foreign one. He is now heading to seek making words in English do the text of alchemy. Works by S. Quanan : Down Through the Limbus (Novel, first print in 1961 ;
reprinted in 2001), The Season of Lust (Novel,1984), The Wild Game of Whale (Short stories, 1998), Heaven Dancing below my Feet (Novel, 2001), Open a Criticism Window (Literary essay, 2003), Poems in C Major (Selected poems, 2006).
