"Touching...A glimpse inside the brain of the RZA, the producer/spiritual leader of Staten Island's revolutionary hip-hop collective, the Wu-Tang Clan....Inspirational." - The New York Times Book Review "Is there a Pulitzer Prize in the Wu's future?" - XXL Magazine "At once edifying and wildly entertaining, [ The Wu-Tang Manual] occupies a fertile emotional crossroads of nostalgia, juvenile wish-fulfillment, and adult appreciation...it could augur a rebirth for one of the most influential rap groups of the 1990s." -Pitchfork "A rabbit hole into the Clan's history and obsessions with kung-fu films, numerology, chess, and Eastern spirituality." - Entertainment Weekly "Equal parts travelogue, manifesto, dictionary and cultural decoder ring for one of hip-hop's most influential and unorthodox rap groups...It's quite obvious that the nine-member crew is as adept in analyzing Eastern philosophies, chess strategies and numerological systems as they are in smoking ells and dodging bullets." -- Columbus Alive (alternative weekly) "A unique megamix of Buddhism, comics, kung fu, and Islam." -Boldtype.com

Synopsis
The Wu-Tang Manual is The RZA's first written introduction to the philosophy and history of Hip-Hop's original Dynasty, the Wu-Tang Clan. Written in a style that is at once personal and philosophical, The Wu-Tang Manual unravels the intricate web of personalities (and alter egos), warrior codes, numerological systems, and Eastern spiritual ethics that define the Wu-Tang dynasty. Packed with information that reflects the breadth and depth of the RZA's--and rest of the Clan's--intellectual interests and passions, The Wu-Tang Manual is divided into four books of nine chambers each, for a total of 36 chambers. All together, the book provides the breakdown of essential Wu-Tang components, from basic information about each of the nine core members of Wu-Tang Clan to deeper explorations of the key themes of the Wu-Tang universe, a dictionary-like Wu-Slang lexicon, and an entire section of Wu-Tang lyrics with densely annotated explanations of what they mean. For the hardcore Wu-Tang disciple and the recent initiate alike, The Wu-Tang Manual is the definitive guide to the essence of Wu, one of the most innovative hip-hop groups of all time., Since the release of the revolutionary Enter the,Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the Wu-Tang Clan have been,hip-hop's leading creative force. Now, after a,decade of dark beats and mysterious lyrics hinting,at a larger whole, the legendary Staten Island,hip-hop collective fully reveals, for the first,time, the complex, multi-layered Wu-Tang Universe.,This manual unravels the intricate web of,personalities (and alter egos), warrior codesnumerological systems and the key to Shaolin among,much more.
