潘铭荣教授曾说:“钱钟书是一位绝顶聪明的奇才。”诚哉斯言。且不谈博大精深的鸿篇巨制《谈艺录》、《管锥篇》,就其写于60多年前的“少作”《写在人生边上》而论,就足显其“当代第一博学鸿儒”(夏志清语)之风采。《写》是钱先生惟一的一本散文结集,是先生于40年代初在西南联 Professor Pan Mingrong once said: “Qiang Zhongshu is an extremely smart wizard.” Regardless of the profound and ingenious chapters on “The Art of Conversation” and “The Cone of Cone”, it is said that “the less contemporary” and “written on the edge of life” written more than 60 years ago is the “first contemporary scholarship ”(The Xia Zhi Qing language) style. “Write” is Mr. Qian’s only collection of prose, which was established in the early 1940s in the Southwest Union.
