Chinese Storytellers

Life and Art in the Yangzhou Tradition

By Vibeke Børdahl, Jette Ross

Chinese Storytellers takes us to the teahouses and hidden corners of Yangzhou to explore the ancient art of Chinese storytelling (shuoshu). Interviews with contemporary masters allow readers a rare glimpse into the personal and professional lives of storytellers today. This one-of-a-kind book also includes a VCD (which can be played using a CD-ROM drive or DVD player) of the storytellers performing their art in Yangzhou dialect. This bilingual book includes traditional Chinese characters, pinyin, and English.

Reviews

A watershed for specialists in Chinese verbal art, a welcome contribution for specialists in orally transmitted narrative, and a delight for the general reader.
