Zhuangzi made easy

4 stars

I like this book, though I don't have much to say. It's a collection of poetic renderings of various passages from the Zhuangzi. Sometimes Thomas Merton's Christian leanings become a little too obvious, but his readings are otherwise beautiful, make the text more immediately accessible, and draw out deeper morals that are pertinent in the modern day. It's a great companion to both the full Zhuangzi text and to Laozi.
