Dear Listener,

What attracted me to this title and what made me want to perform it?
"Narrating a classic text is an opportunity of a lifetime. This is even more so for a work that is still studied today as a relevant work. It is such an honor to bring my voice to this seminal text. As a person in the Chinese diaspora born and bred in the United States, and as a woman, it felt completely natural and righteous to bring to life this English-language translation of classic Chinese text for a modern American audience. I'm so grateful and proud to now add my voice to the canon of voices keeping this ancient text of my cultural ancestry alive." – Emily Woo Zeller, narrator of The Art of War
