These are the English translations of his works: Patrick Hanan (1988). The Invention of Li Yu. Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press. ISBN 0-674-46425-7. Patrick Hanan (1996). The Carnal Prayer Mat. Honolulu : University of Hawaii Press. ISBN 0-8248-1798-2. Patrick Hanan (1998). Tower for the Summer Heat. New York : Columbia University Press. ISBN 0-231-11384-6. Nathan K Mao (1979). Twelve towers : short stories. Hong Kong: Chinese University Press. ISBN 962-201-170-5. And these in French, which do include ( the first one) The Art of Living: Jacques Dars (2003). Au gré d'humeurs oisives : Les carnets secrets de Li Yu : un art du bonheur en Chine. Arles : Editions Philippe Picquier. ISBN 2-87730-664-X Jou-pu-tuan : Andachtsmatten aus Fleisch ; e. erot. Roman aus d. Ming-Zeit. Frankfurt am Main : Fischer-Taschenbuch-Verlag.

I think Mr. Lin Yutang had some of his works published in America, such as the importance of living, moments in Peking...hope you'll find some there, if you can not, we have many here in China :) Btw, most of the names you listed there are not so readable for me, because we don't write them like that anymore. Do you have their Chinese names or modern Chinese pinyin for the names?- Jane from China Hi Jon, glad to know someone outside China like Chinese literature.
