Great book you can just keep going back to, and gets better the more you do. This edition contains lots of traditional commentaries, many of which are hard to find English translations for. Book even comes with short biographies and descriptions of the commentators. I recommend reading along w some kind of other secondary scholarly introduction to Daoism, so that it is easy to sink teeth into.

As far as the content of the Zhuangzi itself, it is absolutely awesome. Metaphors are full of deep contradictions that seem to call into question the differences between binaries. First story is about thousand mile bird who's name means "fish egg," and shows that distance and size are relative phenomena.
The chapter called "the equalizing assessment of things" finds the interdependence of "this" and "that" leading to the unity of opposites and also the breaking down of boundaries between the supposed boundary of outer world and inner world of experience. It's an incredibly satisfying book that I will probably read on and off for years to come. It's almost like the bible where you want to reread certain sections which become richer the more you do, but never read the whole thing through more than once. ( )

Zhuangzi (or Chuang-tsu 莊子) was one of the big three contributors to Taoist thought alongside Laozi and Liezi; although Zhuangzi's writings particularly in the Inner Chapters cannot be classed as strictly Taoist and he was only classified as such in later dynasties.

The edition of the Zhuangzi translated by Brook Ziporyn has the whole of the Inner Chapter, traditionally ascribed to Zhuangzi, a selection of the Outer Chapters, and of particular note, a selection of commentaries on the Inner Chapters by noted, later commentators including Guo Xiang.

A deeply insightful and poetic work, it is always hard to capture the original in translation but Ziporyn does well - at times, though the translation seems "looser" than previous translations such as Graham's (which remains the most academic and thorough).

This is one of the most recent translations of the Zhuangzi and thus benefits from that. The most worthwhile aspect of this edition is, as previously mentioned, the additional commentaries and an interesting introduction. ( )
