One Concluding Remarks Acknowledgments Notes IndexReviews"""This is an extended and allusive translation and analysis of an important work, which Huang reads 'against' the Zhuangzi in an original way. The translations are deft, and the footnotes are judicious. Stylistically it is a rare specimen, containing no small amount of whimsy (something I personally appreciated). Walter Benjamin tells us that the translator should preserve the artistic features of the original, and not translate to a particular audience. While it may perturb those Sinologists who tend to treat ancient texts as if they were scientific specimens, I find the formal features of this text appropriate to the source material."" — Mark Csikszentmihalyi, University of California, Berkeley" This is an extended and allusive translation and analysis of an important work, which Huang reads 'against' the Zhuangzi in an original way.
