Sabina Knight 桑稟华さんのイラストまとめ

Yan Lianke's *Ode to Elegance*《风雅颂》(2008) is a #satire in the tradition of *Don Quixote,* *The Scholars* 儒林外史 & *The Travels of Lao Can" 老殘遊記.

Prof Yang Ke's obsession w/ his scholarship & w/ fallen women mocks #academia, officialdom & more.

Awaits Eng translation.

*Serve the People!* satirizes "a true believer who obeys [Mao's] precepts too literally."

"To a Western sensibility, the broad strokes of Yan’s #humor ... But then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a Western sensibility." @lieslkschil https://t.co/7RNpDvGoIg

@GBLee @univofstandrews Congratulations!

Can these courses fit into MA students' programs too?
