What They're Saying
Critics Review
”[A]n ideal introduction … Tsai’s layout is elegant.”—Chris Gavaler, PopMatters
“The English translation of C. C. Tsai’s comic version of the Zhuangzi is such a special thing… . [this comic version] with the visual dimension that brings the reader directly into the world of the ancients, is both for the sinologist and for the lay reader alike, [is] a very enjoyable book – and that is what is should be.”—Bart Dessein, Journal of the European Association for Chinese Studies
