For the first time in English, the complete Eight Pieces of Brocade (八段錦) - a Ming-dynasty collection of eight interlocking tales exploring the wages of desire, the snares of passion, and the strange workings of karmic justice.

Written by the pseudonymous Master Who Awakens the World (Xingshijushi), these stories move from the pleasure quarters of Lin'an to haunted riverbanks, from prosperous merchant households to the courts of ghostly judgment. Each piece of brocade weaves together vivid characters - lovestruck young men, scheming courtesans, wronged wives, and supernatural avengers - into narratives that entertain even as they instruct.
