Qiu Xiaolong (simplified Chinese: 裘小龙, pronounced /tʃjuː ʃiaʊlɒŋ/ chew shao long in English, born Shanghai, China, 1953)[1] is an English language poet, crime novelist, critic, and academic,[1] currently living in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife Wang Lijun and daughter Julia Qiu. He originally visited the United States in 1988 to write a book about T. S. Eliot, but following the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 a newspaper reported on his previous fundraising efforts for Chinese students, and he was forced to remain in America to avoid persecution by the Communist Party of China.[2]
He has published several mystery novels, including Death of a Red Heroine, which won the Anthony Award for best first novel in 2001,[1] and A Loyal Character Dancer. Both books featured Chief Inspector Chen Cao, a poetry-quoting cop with integrity.[1]
