"[A] boon to both scholarship and teaching. The translators' scholarly preface and postface, copious notes, and full bibliography mean that it brings this elusive novel closer to the point at which readers of today can understand it as seventeenth-century readers might have done."—Journal of Chinese Studies
"Li and Hegel's new translation of Xiyoubu makes a great contribution to the field of Chinese studies not only for its masterful English translation of this seventeenth-centuryliterary gemand its erudite introduction, but also for presenting theworkwith the various paratexts that accompanied its late Ming edition."—Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies
Endorsements

"One of the strangest and most fascinating novels the Chinese tradition ever produced. The interweaving of humor and profundity in "A jewel of late imperial literati fiction and mind-bending Chan Buddhist wit. This slim volume is the perfect introduction to the complexity and richness of late imperial Chinese book culture."—Maram Epstein, University of Oregon "A unique blend of brilliant acuity, unbridled fantasy, and serious reflection that is a continuous pleasure to read."—Wilt L. Idema, Harvard University
