Li Guo's Arabic Shadow Theatre 1300-1900: A Handbook is a sweeping survey and interesting introduction to all things shadowy and theatrical. It is rare to say that an academic study is a joy to read, but this book certainly proved to be the case. [...] it is well worth engaging with and will stimulate discussions about theatre and shadow theatre beyond the Arab world. - Usman Butt, in: Middle East Monitor, 2020
