This highly original book gives a penetrating account of the creative processes of second language writers. Drawing on the latest advances and research in sociocultural theory, identity theory and second language acquisition research - Zhao provides a readable yet minutely detailed account of her participants, located within their cultural contexts and personal histories. Malcolm MacDonald, University of Warwick, UK This exploration of L2 creative writers' identities and writing processes is a pedagogical mastercraft. It is cutting-edge scholarship in which writers and their writing become an L2 learning resource. The breadth and depth of Yan Zhao's study are evident in the vast traditions that her critique covers both theoretically and methodologically. Tope Omoniyi, University of Roehampton, UK
