Embracing Illusion: Truth and Fiction in the Dream of the Nine Clouds (SUNY Series, Toward a Comparative Philosophy of Religions)

By Francisca Cho Bantly and Francisca Cho

Embracing Illusion is an interdisciplinary study of a classic Korean novel. It argues that a work of narrative fiction can be taken seriously as Buddhist philosophical discourse. The capacity of fiction to speak on behalf of Buddhist truths is set in the larger context of how the literary imagination approaches the exploration of reality.
