The first audience that a writer wants to please is the past—the dead writers who led him to want to write in the first place.

The first audience that a writer wants to please is in the past—the dead writers who led him to want to write in the first place. I would add the preposition. Do you understand the sentence?

It says that a writer admires a few authors from the past who are dead.
These dead authors inspired him to write. (led him to want to write)
He writes to please these dead authors first, not people living today who will read his books.

Hasibul Alam thank you manDon't add "man". You don't seem to realize who is a man and who is a woman on this forum.

Hasibul Alamyes, i dont understand the sentenceYou will get better answers if you post the whole paragraph. Individual sentences are easier to explain in the context of the paragraph.
This writing is at a fairly high level of difficulty. Many native English speakers would be challenged by it.
