Manage episode 352514304 series 3437151
#ReadingTheStone Saturday live chats are back after a week's hiatus, and in this episode Waiyee and Eileen discuss the history of interlinear & eyebrow commentary in Chinese fiction and possible resonances with 21st century online fanfiction community practices; crossover fic potential with Pride and Prejudice; fiction as pedagogy - what is a bad reading? who is a misguided reader?; sexual transgression in the private schoolrooms and in the family mansion; and whether the hapless Jia Rui and his fatal obsession with the mirror is the ultimate stand-in for the hopelessly addicted HLM reader.
