3.0 out of 5 stars Yuan Mei - Sensualist and Gourmet, Mar 15 1999
By A Customer
I have not read this English translation, but twenty years ago I read the two books on which it is based, <Zi bu yu> and <Xu zi bu yu> ("What the Master did not speak of," and "What the Master did not speak of, continued"). I enjoyed them so much that I set out to translate them. Both books consist of ribald little vignettes in classical Chinese. But other events intervened and I lost interest in completing my translation. I'm glad to see that someone else has completed what I did not.
