5.0 out of 5 starsMuch delighted
By Fu Wen Guan on November 1, 2007
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Received my copy of Volume 3 of the late David Roy's "The Plum in the Golden Vase" when returning home from office and just couldn't put it down until 3.00am. I am sure, like others who have the interest in this novel, would regret the untimely passing away of David Roy before he could complete his translation. I wonder if PRINCETON UNIVERSITY will fund another scholar to take up where DR has left off.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn entry worthy of immortality, ignored by Western Critics
A Kid's Review on February 19, 2009
Format: Hardcover
We have lingered too long on the so-called, and now closed, canon of Western literature. Reading this one gets, curiously, reminded of Joyce and the Dos Passos of USA, with the bewildering set of references. This is brlliant; a must read that puts many of our western classics in the shade.

5.0 out of 5 starsamazing discovery
By Peter on January 18, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've just read the first four volumes of the Plum in the Golden Vase back to back & I can't wait for the publication of the fifth. I have no Chinese, so I have no idea whether the translation is accurate, but I can tell you the translator has a fantastic ear for language. The combination of high poetry and guttural vernacular here is irresistible. Definitely a major personal discovery.
