钱思文

Public information about Qian Siwen is limited. What can be confirmed at present is that three works by this author are held in the collection, all classified under foreign literature. Judging from these works, Qian Siwen's work is connected with the translation, introduction, or compilation of foreign literary works. The representative titles include One of Us, Curious Pursuits: Essays by Atwood (1970–2005), and The Dancing Girls. Curious Pursuits is related to the essays of the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood, and The Dancing Girls is also a work by Atwood, suggesting that Qian Siwen has been involved in bringing Atwood's writing to Chinese readers. Reliable records of birth and death dates, nationality, and educational background have not been found, so such details should not be supplied. Overall, Qian Siwen's involvement in foreign literature is the main available clue for understanding this author's focus.
