"Students of Chinese and comparative literature, travelers looking for a glimpse of modern China's past, and other first-time sojourners in this unfamiliar fictional world need this kind of broad-based, interdisciplinary reader's guide.... Levy's book provides a brief and accessible overview of much recent scholarship on the Stone." -- Mary Scott, Journal of Asian Studies
"Though intended as an introduction for first-time readers of the masterpiece, Levy's book also offers some insights of use to specialists. A readable contribution to English studies of Honglou meng." -- Choice
