Bret Hinsch
LITERATURE •  1992 •  PAPER  • 256 PAGES

A well written, scholarly survey of the traditions of same-sex male love across 3,000 years of Chinese literature -- much livlier than the title would indicate. Hinsch draws from dynastic histories, erotic novels, popular Buddhist tracts, love poetry, legal cases, and joke books in this fascinating overview.  (CHN167, $26.95)
