Barry Hughart Click on a book's image or title to order from Amazon.com Bridge of Birds Reviewed June 2000 Subtitled "A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was", Bridge of Birds has the feel of some old folk tale, but it's told in frequently modernized language ("You got a problem?") and, for that matter, characterization, and its plot is more tightly woven than any fable I've ever heard. Number Ten Ox is a citizen of the village of Ku-fu in rural China in 639 a.d. The local businessmen have inadvertently poisoned many children of the village and put them into a coma. Ox heads to Peking to enlist a wise man, and he comes back with the drunkard Master Li Kao, a sage with a slight flaw in his character. (What's the flaw? That, you'll have to glean from the book yourself.) Master Li learns that only the Great Root of Power can save the children, and he and Ox set out to procure the mysterious substance. Bridge of Birds is at once a quest story, and a mystery. Between them, they seem to embody all the best qualities of literary and pulp heroes from Sherlock Holmes to Doc Savage to Batman, reasoning and blustering their way through a variety of challenges: The Ancestress, the aged woman who once rules all China; the Duke of Ch'in, the money-hungry tyrant who has dominated much of China for centuries; and various interesting settings and obstacles laid in their way across the land. What makes the book work is the language and the humor: Li is often quite witty, and the ingenious approaches he takes to their problems are a lot of fun. The story also presents incongruities such as these two odd fellows finagling their way into huge fortunes, which they promptly squander in pursuit of some small piece of their overall goal.

Home Ex Libris Authors : Barry Hughart Barry Hughart a slight flaw in his characters Have you seen our weblog or our monthly book review? Back in the 1980's, Barry Hughart wrote three delightful fantasy novels about brawny Chinese peasant Number Ten Ox and his friend and master, the sage Li Kao: "My surname is Li and my personal name is Kao, and I have a slight flaw in my character." So far as I know, he's written nothing since, which is a great pity. Whereas Robert van Gulik 's "Judge Dee" novels take place in an extremely down-to-earth China, Number Ten Ox and Li Kao inhabitant a wild and colorful place in which Chinese folklore has a beautiful (and frequently deadly) way of coming to life. Bridge of Birds is the first of the three, and the best; don't miss it.

6. Barry Hughart Barry Hughart. Bridge of Birds. I have a hard time thinking of any bookI have read recently that I have enjoyed as much as Bridge of Birds. http://www.banditos.com/sffreview/reviews/hughart-review.html

Barry Hughart Bridge of Birds 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. I don't mean that the charaters ride motorcycles and speak in slang. ("Hey gnarly old dude!" exclaimed Number Ten Ox. "Can I score some help to save my village?" "Only if it pays enough to get me plowed," mumbled Li Kao.) Hughart tells the story with a casual tone, setting up the clever descriptions and dialogue, with just enough flavor to reminds us this is a Chinese myth. All in all, a superb and thoroughly enjoyable tale. I bought this book at a local bookstore ( The Stars Our Destination ) where the owner offers a money back guarantee that you will enjoy this book, and I would be perfectly comfortable making the same guarantee.

Nick My Email: nick.clarkson1@virgin.net Comments: I came across your page whilst searching for clues Barry Hughart. Today I picked up a copy of his first book Bridge of Birds in a local bookshop.

I have always been on the lookout for further works and seeing the book today I decided to see what I could find out whilst surfing.

Its a great pity as he had one of the most absorbing and captivating style of any author I have read. If your out there Mr.Hughart and you read this by any chance PLEASE start writing again and let us all share the wonderous worlds you see. colin henson Comments: i love the books they are a constant source of amusment and inspiration.

Review: Bridge of Birds , Barry Hughart "Take a large bowl. Fill it with equal measures of fact, fantasy, history, mythology, science, superstition, logic, and lunacy. Darken the mixture with bitter tears, brighten it with howls of laughter, toss in three thousand years of civilization, bellow kan pei "And I will be wise?" "Better. You will be Chinese." Bridge of Birds Bridge of Birds This book is funny, sweet, and has some truly wonderful (that is, both terrific and full of wonder) moments. Master Li, though possessing more than a few flaws in his character, is just the guide for an adventure like this, and the good-hearted, slightly naive Ox is the perfect foil. Toss in folktales, running gags, memorable supporting characters, poignant moments, and a general atmosphere of warmth and humor, and the result is one of the few books I would never go anywhere without. Li Kao chewed thoughtfully on his beard, and then he said, "Ho, Ox and I are wrapped in so many chains that we can't move, you are attached to the wall by a leg chain, this dungeon is solid rock, the torture chamber is crammed with soldiers, we are eleven stories beneath the earth, and each landing is guarded by more soldiers. The palace is swarming with the army of the Ancestress, the army of the Duke of Ch'in is camped outside the walls, and Ox and I must escape from here immediately. Unless you look forward to being drawn and quartered, I suggest that you accompany us." "I think that's a splendid idea," said Henpecked Ho.
