Let me rephrase the question: who wrote the best translation of the Romance of Three Kingdoms?
>>
Boom. Pouncing on this and expanding it into a general thread on Chinese literature both Classic and Modern.
>>
>>7235104
Avoid Brewitt-Taylor, he uses Tsao-Tsao instead of Cao-Cao, and expand on that shit for every character you recognize from other media. I dont know much about Chinese, but I know that this is not the commonly used one.

Outlaws of the Marsh makes me cum, Mo Yan's Sandalwood Death is on my top 5 list. Chronicle of a Blood Merchant is way overrated or badly translated.

Also, after brief (and i mean brief) Moss Roberts version is the one from the Foreign Languages Press in Beijing, and their translations of Outlaws and Journey to the West is super readable and fun. Wiki likes him too.

I love Journey to the West. My introduction to was Arthur Waley's Monkey. Any other recommended reading?
