	Barry Hughart
		Barry Hughart (born March 13, 1934) is classified as a fantasy author.
		He was born in Peoria, Illinois and developed a lifelong interest in China that led him to plan a series set in "an Ancient China that never was".
		No further books followed, although Hughart's intention was for a series of seven novels, in the last of which Li Kao and Number Ten Ox would die facing the Great White Serpent (a conflict alluded to in Bridge of Birds), but would become minor deities, continuing to cause problems for the August Personage of Jade.

	Barry Hughart, Bridge of Birds
		When approaching the matter of China, Hughart could have gone all mystical and created a China where the folklore becomes almost a religion in and of itself, where we become all too aware of the author having a great reverence for his subject to the point of losing objectivity.
		Hughart manages to bring these two disparate threads together through Number Ten Ox's narrative voice, which is that of a simple peasant who finds all of life a joy to be experienced, even when those experiences are fraught with mortal peril (usually due to Master Li's plans not going exactly as conceived).
		Hughart could easily have bitten off more than he could chew, but in the end, Bridge of Birds manages an amazing feat: to be two books at once, neither one suffering in the process.

		Hughart's (Bridge of Birds) third novel is another gem, continuing the adventures of the aging sage Master Li and his youthful sidekick, Number Ten Ox, a delightful pair of ancient Chinese sleuths.
		Hughart seems determined to exceed the more controlled chaos of 'Bridge of Birds' and this is not all for the good.
		Hughart's ability to make impossible characters work is undeniable, and he has either a vivid imagination or access to a large collection of Chinese myths.

		Eventually, Hughart does tie all the episodes together in a masterful way which will send the reader back through the book to find clues to the ultimate conclusion.
		Hughart was careful to leave a trail of clues throughout the book which leads to the denouement, although few of them are obvious until the solution is revealed.
		Their versimilitude demonstrates the care with which Hughart studied actual Chinese folklore and history before he began to write this novel.

		Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart is a modestly entertaining novel, by turns amusing and dull as a textbook.
		The cure takes the two on a romp through a mythical old China peopled with the kind of moronic rubes found in all fairy tales - those greedy and stupid enough to hand over their money just because someone tells them they'll be receiving some magic beans and a donkey that poops gold coins.
		Hughart stretches this hoary old chestnut within an inch of its elasticity as Master Li and Ox wander from city to city collecting bits of the Great Root of Power in order to effect the cure.

		Once again Barry Hughart seems to keep several seperate levels of reality interacting within the story until the last chapter when they are all revealed to be one and the same.
		Barry Hughart weaves his magical pictures of the Far East with fascinating details.
		I understand Barry did not write any other books after Eight Skilled Gentlemen, so although the end of the book is open, it looks like we'll see no more of Master Li and Number Ten Ox.

		Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn't think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it.
		My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Hughart tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Hughart worthy; in sum, to help you rank Hughart (and the works by Hughart listed here) on your personal literary "to do" list.

		More details would be superfluous, for there is simply no substitute for reading this book.
		Hughart spices his narrative throughout with a liberal dose of humor; I found myself laughing aloud many times as I read along.
		If there is a flaw to be found here, I failed to see it.

		Nach dem ersten Meister-Li-Roman Die Brücke der Vögel, der unter Fantasylesern geradezu als Kultbuch verehrt wird, gelingt es Barry Hughart, mit der Fortsetzung Der Stein des Himmels ein weiteres Kleinod der asiatisch inspirierten Fantasy zu schaffen.
		Unter Fantasy-Lesern galt der erste Meister-Li-Roman des amerikanischen Autors Barry Hughart lange Zeit als Geheimtipp, und inzwischen ist er geradezu zum Kultbuch geworden.
		Die fröhliche Gelassenheit des weisen Alten kann das jedoch nicht erschüttern, und schon bald stellt sich heraus, dass hinter dem zunächst banal anmutenden Vorfall ein göttliches Geheimnis steckt, das die Zukunft ganz Chinas bedroht.

		I have a hard time thinking of any book I have read recently that I have enjoyed as much as Bridge of Birds.
		Hughart tells the tale of "an ancient China which never was", filled with memorable characters like Number Ten Ox and Li Kao, a "scholar with a slight flaw in his character".
		Their story is a classic Chinese myth, told in a modern style.

	other blog » Old Interview With Barry Hughart
		I … somehow … came across this 2000 interview with “fantasy” writer Barry Hughart, who published three out of a planned seven books about Master Li, a dirty old intellectual spiritual detective from an ancient China that never existed.
		Anyhoo, I had no real point with all of this except to create more Barry Hughart fans.
		Go read the three Master Li books, enjoy, and then write him letters asking him to write more.

		Some have suggested that one prefers Hughart's novels in the order one reads them, which would be one explanation, but I'm not so sure about that.
		It's true that part of the charm is the novelty, and as the series goes on, one begins to see some plot patterns.

		I just recently discovered Barry Hughart's novels of Number Ten Ox and Master Li.
		Great books, it's too bad that Hughart didn't go on to finish any other novels in the series after the first three.
		It's my understanding that at one time he was planning seven.
