Xiaolu Guo

Xiaolu Guo was born in 1973 in Shi Tang in the South of China. After spending her youth in a small town on the China sea, she went to Beijing at the age of 18, where she studied at the film academy. In 2002, she moved to London. Xiaolu was recently described by The Times as a “phenomenal talent” for her novel writing – she was seen as the unofficial runner-up for the Orange Prize for Fiction for The Concise Chinese-English Dictionary For Lovers. —britdoc.org
