Blurb
Weary and bitter by a roadside inn, a traveler named Lu Sheng accepts a porcelain pillow from a wandering Taoist while millet cooks over the fire. In the moment of a dream he lives a whole lifetime of wealth, power, exile, and age — and wakes to find the grain not yet done. A Tang-dynasty fable that asks what a life is really worth.
