Book of the Week: “The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox”

I read the first book (Bridge of Birds) in Barry Hughart’s The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox trilogy… wow, over twenty years ago? Anyway, it was a loaner, I never got a copy, but I still fondly remember Master Li, and the slight flaw in his character.  So today I find out that there were two more books, and the whole thing is now heading to my Kindle, and I suggest that you follow suit.

Twenty years. Maybe twenty-five. Wow.

And so, adieu to Werewolf Cop.

  1. The Wikipedia article about Mr Hugart has some interesting info, especially the fact that the Chronicles were planned to span seven books. Full disclosure: I helped write that article. As explained on the article talk page, I emailed him and got a (very entertaining) reply. He seems like a really nice guy, and it’s a damn shame that the expletively-expletived-expletives in publishing shut him down so early.
