One of the most original and controversial figures in the history of Chinese literature, Li Yu specialized in challenging social taboos and turning literary themes on their heads. The stories featured here combine the racy wit and bawdiness of the traditional oral storyteller with a very modern blend of subtlety, irony and psychological insight to create a vibrant and accessible picture of 17th century Chinese life. This illustrated collection is an important step in bringing the writing of Li Yu to a wider audience. Here is a compelling example of a vibrancy and insight only now being rediscovered by contemporary Chinese writers.
