Features: "Quiet" is the third complete collection of essays by Zhou Guoping, encompassing all articles published since 1999, as well as transcripts of lectures given at universities and other occasions. In recent years, Zhou Guoping's books have been excessively published, and the author himself has become aware of this burden of fame. In "Quiet," he says, "Of course, I am not a person who has transcended the world to the point of rejecting fame, but what is more important than fame is that I need to return to myself." A writer who has begun to realize the necessity of reclaiming himself is certainly worth looking forward to, even though this process may be even longer than his initial rise to fame.
