From the back cover:
The much-acclaimed adventures of a young martial arts master in China "take the form of a series of lightly sketched-in episodes; almost without exception, they produce the gulp of feeling you might get from an unusually fine short story, and they reverberate long after you have put them down." (The New York Times)
"If there were a prize for most winning writer, Mark Salzman would cop it." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Salzman demonstrates with skill and subtlety just how Chinese society works." (Washington Post)
"Dazzling...exhilarating...a joy to read from beginning to end." (People magazine)
