The Carnal Prayer Mat by Li Yu
In the 300 years since its initial publication, Li Yu's book has been widely read in China, where it is recognised as a benchmark of erotic literature and currently enjoys the distinction of being a banned-in-Beijing classic.
Patrick Hanan is Victor S. Thomas Professor of Chinese Literature at Harvard University. He is the translator of The Carnal Prayer Mat and author of several books, including The Invention of Li Yu and The Chinese Vernacular Story.
