Search - List of Books by Pierre Ryckmans
Pierre Ryckmans (born 28 September 1935, in Brussels, Belgium), who also uses the pen-name Simon Leys, is a writer, sinologist, essayist and literary critic.
He studied law at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Louvain), Chinese language, literature and art in Taiwan. He went to Hong Kong, before settling down in Australia in 1970. He taught Chinese literature at the Australian National University, where he supervised the honours thesis of former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and later was Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Sydney, from 1987 to 1993.
Pierre Ryckmans wrote that he was requested to use a pseudonym before the publication of Les habits neufs du président Mao in 1971. He chose "Leys" after the main character of Victor Segalen's novel René Leys (published in 1922).
In 2004 he was awarded the Prix mondial Cino Del Duca.
