This is the first book in English on the seventeenth-century Chinese masterpiece Liaozhai's Records of the Strange (Liaozhai zhiyi) by Pu Songling, a collection of nearly five hundred fantastic tales and anecdotes written in Classical Chinese.

A companion volume to the exhibition of the same name at the Smart Museum of Art. With over eighty illustrated catalogue entries, it offers fresh insight into traditional Chinese culture, visual arts, and theater, and reveals how Chinese visual and performing traditions were aesthetically, ritually, and commercially intertwined.
