About the author

Liu Jingsheng is a translator and author about whom limited public information is available. Five of his works are included in the library, spanning biography, foreign literature, and mystery and detective fiction. Judging from his representative works, he has taken part in translating Borges, including A Universal History of Infamy (The Complete Works of Borges), The Six Puzzles of Isidro Parodi, and Two Memorable Fantasies, and has also translated I Confess I Have Lived Long and a collection of fables. These works cover a wide range of subjects, involving essays, detective fiction, and fable narratives in Spanish-language literature, which shows that his translation and writing interests are not confined to a single genre. Since his dates of birth and death, nationality, and specific experiences cannot be confirmed, it would be inappropriate to speculate further about his life; based on the available works alone, he has accumulated some experience in translating foreign literature and has provided Chinese readers with reference translations for approaching Borges and related Spanish-language literary works.
