作者簡介
鄒文仁（Nick Tsou）
西元1969年生於台灣彰化，畢業於台大外文系及政大英教所，從未在35歲以前有過文學創作的渴望，突然於2005年開始不斷湧現創作的能量，以中文創作了「福爾摩沙語言文化狂想記」（短篇小說）、「過客之歌」（現代詩）和「東莞朝聖記」（短篇小說），發表於他的部落格blog.udn.com/nicktsou2005；隨後於2007年改以英文創作了「父與子」（The Father and the Son），本書為他的英文小說處女作，也是他試圖?台灣文學創作開創新路之舉。平時閱讀英文小說是他的嗜好，教學的工作使他樂在其中，信仰和家人是他最重要的精神寄託，而寫作則是他註解生命的方式。
The author of The Father and the Son is Nick Tsou, a Taiwanese high school English teacher. Born in 1969 and having secured his BA in English and MA in TESOL, both from prestigious local universities, only started to write in 2005 after a sudden spring of creative power welled up from within him, which suggested to him that writing would be his gift from God and where he would dedicate his best effort. Having afterward written a coulple of stories and scores of poems in Chinese, he chose to write this first novel of his in English in 2007 at the age of 38 as he realized writing in English aroused more passion for him than any other things he’d ever done. Therefore, he made the most of the time he had in addition to being a teacher, a father, a husband and a deacon in church and wrote for six months until he finished his first novel, The Father and the Son. Tsou has been married 12 years and is now living with his wife, Jasmine, and their two children, Amy and John, in Taipei, Taiwan.
