The mix of crudeness and eloquence--manifesting itself both in the presentation of the story and in the character of the Zhengde emperor - can be jarring, but often also works well, especially in the confusion it causes those who deal with the Zhengde emperor... A solid, full-fledged novel, and it's good to see it available in English translation. This Hsu-Tang Library of Classical Chinese Literature also provides the Chinese original facing the translation - always welcome - and Wilt L. Idema's Introduction is also a helpful and informative one. * The Complete Review * [The Hsu-Tang Library] will open up a classical tradition that spans millennia, relatively little of which has ever been translated into English. There is a humanity and irreverence to some of these works that readers expecting stuffy, prim Confucian moralizing will find refreshing. * The Wall Street Journal * Consistently entertaining - a very rollicking good read.
