    Taiwanese Writer \'San Mao\'

    I\'ve been given a book to read by a female Taiwanese writer named San Mao (as in \'three\' and \'Chairman\', can\'t get the characters to work at the moment). Everyone who\'s seen that I\'m reading it has been vaguely surprised and impressed, and it\'s come highly recommened, especially the stories set in the Sahara.

    I like Sannao (三毛) a lot and have read all of her works.

    I especially like her expression, just feel the way she write make me feel very good. And I especially like her works: 撒哈拉的故事 ( stories on Sahala) , 万水千山走遍( about her trip to South America after her husband died) And some other works like 梦里花落知多少 is good too, more moving.

    a friend told me that She killed herself already. I\'ve read almost all her books written in Africa. But not the tour books she wrote when she was traveling around after her husband died in a diving accident. She was famous in 80s. Her books are about her simple life with her husband in Sahara and the local exotic life. To the Chinese, her life there is like \"Shi Wai Tao Yuan\". If you are not into Chinese philosophy or not into the world created by Tang, Song poets,you should go back to tabloid.

    So far I\'ve found it not all that interesting and am contemplating giving up and returning to Beijing\'s tabloid newspapers. What am I missing? Any background on the writer (I suspect she\'s very famous and I should have heard of her already)
