Redology

Posted by on May 18 at 8:50 AM

If you are familiar with the long 18th century Chinese novel Hung Lou Meng (The Dream of the Red Chamber) by Cao Xueqin (Hung Lou Meng is to China what Remembrance of Things Past is to France and Tale of Genji is to Japan), and also are aware of the fact that the serious study of this novel is called Redology, then you will instantly enjoy this Borgesian article in China Daily.

Hey Nigga Schola, Italian Architecture, Hip Hop, French Novels, and Cosby Show, and now Chinese Novels, aren't you the little expert on everything? At least you bring up topic after topic and never follow through.


Are you just going to call Seattle Weekly racist and then drop the whole thing? Do you have such contempt for your readers that you think we've forgotten that just a few days ago you lobbed the nasty and serious charge of racism at some of our community?


Lame Charles...very Lame.


P.S. Why not get a Chinese writer to comment about the litureature of their own culture?
