Long Writers
By which I mean people who work on a project over most of their lives. Not writing the same thing over and over, but following characters or a world across decades. A writer famous in Thailand, but whose work I never was able to find in English, recently died, so his long project is over.
I recently finished a very dense, but fascinating book on Jin Yong, another who spent a good part of his life writing loosely connected jianghu or wuxia tales. A little of his work is being translated--Tor recently came out with the first of his most famous arc.
I love reading about others doing paracosm, and especially long writers, even if I don't actually get to read the work.
