About this title

Review:

Kupperman's style is fluid and conversational and the reader has a clear sense of being taken by the hand through a daunting forest of thinkers and texts ... The strength of this book is that it serves as a model for the kind of analysis and thought that a student ought to bring to bear in reading these texts and writing essays on them. (The Journal of Asian Studies)
