a very short and interesting book:
"Nineteen Ways of Looking at Wang Wei" by Eliot Weinberger (?) and Octavio Paz.
It gives you one Wang Wei poem in Chinese, a pronunciation guide, the
literal meanings of each character, and then over a dozen different
translations of the one poem, with commentary from Weinberger. An
interesting, quick lesson in translation, I guess.
I liked it.
