About this listen
Last time, Mike started the "official" Introduction to the novel, which is providing us with valuable historical context. This time, more of that. First, we've got a summary of the historical Xuanzang's life. Then, Mike learns about Nalanda, Vasubandhu, and wtf "demotic literary writing" means.
Next time: Introduction Part 3
The version Mike is reading:The Journey to the West, Revised Edition, Volume 1, Translated and Edited by Anthony C. Yu
