Find Her, Keep Her by Z.L. Arkadie (Love in the USA #1)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 248kb
Overview: History and legend brilliantly combine in Simon Elegant's bawdy "autobiographical" account of China's famed rabble-rousing versemaker Li Po.
On a lavishly outfitted river barge in ancient China, a studious young vintner's son takes down the life story of the extraordinary Tang Dynasty poet-in-exile, none other than the "Banished Immortal" himself, the great Li Po. Each day, the young man sits with brush, ink, and scroll and meticulously records the outlandish adventures that Li Po (with flask of warm rice wine always in hand) recalls: his ride on the back of an enormous eagle; his work for a brutal butcher as a Pigboy-in-training, his role as advisor to Emperor Hsuan Tsung (in matters of cock-fighting and tree-climbing, not of state); and his recurring encounters with the glorious Peony, a high courtesan and the finest singer in the land.
Li Po rails against all that conspires to constrain him: the philosophy of "that pietistic old prater Confucius," the elaborate rules governing the composition of verse, the rigid examinations required to obtain an official post, and the greedy emperors whose expansionism leads China into a period of rebellion and catastrophe.
A Floating Life is a magnificent portrayal of a critical time in China's history and the life of a literary legend. Nearly thirteen hundred years after the fact, Simon Elegant's scrupulously researched novel captures the essence of the eccentric bard of spontaneous verse—lover of birds, breast milk, courtesans, tavern songs and wine ("From each jug of wine a hundred poems bloom" he taunts rival poet Tu Fu)—in fullest splendor and bravado.
