TRANSLATORS’ ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The following persons at Yale University Press, as well as an anonymous
reader, have gone out of their way to be helpful: Kristy Leonard; Danielle

D’Orlando, with the Margellos World Republic of Letters; and Dorothea
Halliday, managing editor. The talented Nancy Ovedovitz created the intriguing
cover design. Susan Laity, senior manuscript editor, has brought to this
undertaking everything that one could ask for: she is capable, collaborative,
thorough, sensitive, and understanding. Working with her has been a pleasure.
John Donatich, director of Yale University Press, has been patient and
encouraging throughout. He is a leader of Can Xue’s considerable cheering
section, and over the years he has been consistently supportive of her and her
writing. We greatly appreciate the professionalism and enthusiasm of this
remarkable team for this project, and we thank them all. Finally, as always, we
thank Can Xue for entrusting her incomparable works to us.
