Stories for Kate Episode 3: Not quite Persuasion, but the best company 1:16:28

1y ago1:16:28

1:16:28

We didn't quite manage to chat at length about Persuasion as we had planned, but we definitely shared a few stories for Kate! Original grapes Eily, Jen, Yazmin, and Eileen were back, but a few of Kate's favorite Lowellians also joined us: Tina, Ona, Ned, and Howard! We gave Howard a bit of grief for not having seen us in so long (and we gave him a …

#ReadingTheStone Season 3 - Stories For Kate Episode 2: Valley Girl, like totally 55:06

1y ago55:06

55:06

The grapes return for another episode of 'Stories for Kate.' This time we do a deep dive into Martha Coolidge's 1983 indie classic Valley Girl, starring a young Deborah Foreman and Nicholas Cage. We talked about aspects of the film that we still love (eileen: still the way NC kisses, swoon; Jen: the storytelling; Yaz: the character of Julie), and a…

36:37

#ReadingTheStone Season 3: We have ventured a bit far afield from Story of the Stone and 18th century Chinese mansions for now, as Season 3 will be stories for (and about) Kate - in which we talk about her favorite books and films and men - and eagerly await her emendations and rebuttals. Episode 1 Our Foundational College-era Romances, from Room w…

[Originally recorded on March 25, 2023] "The Fellowship of the Stone" (thank you to one of the episode guests for our new sobriquet!) reconvened for a post #ReadingTheStone wrap-up episode. We welcomed a panoply of new-to-the-group friends - all Hongloumeng scholars and teachers - Paola Zamperini, Canaan Morse, I-Hsien Wu, Carlos Rojas, Emily Wu, S…

1:03:00

[Originally recorded on 3-11-2023] We recorded our first #ReadingTheStone Saturday chat on April 2, 2022, and now nearly 12 months later, we say farewell to Story of the Stone, as we reach Chapter 120 together. In this episode we explore the various 'happy endings' presented at the end of the fiction, and wonder how and if they responded to the que…

[Originally recorded on 3-4-23] “Before one disaster is over, here’s another!” Pretty much sums up all the chapters lately. - Dani Our heroic trio Waiyee, Ann, and Eileen are reunited (thank you Shelly!) for the penultimate episode discussing Chapters 110-115, alongside the rest of our #ReadingTheStone community. A wide-ranging conversation today f…

#ReadingTheStone S2 Episode 7 On Justice and Retribution, and Sea Otter Pelts 56:57

1+ y ago56:57

56:57

[Originally recorded on 2-25-2023] Waiyee and Eileen had other commitments this week, but Ann led the #ReadingTheStone group in a rich discussion of Chapters 105-109, on the dual plot strands of Baoyu's marriage and also of the Fall of the House of Jia, and whether, even for those with power and money and connections like the Jia family, there migh…

#ReadingTheStone S2 Episode 6: On the Postlapsarian, and also surprisingly, Jia Zheng 52:10

1+ y ago52:10

52:10

[Originally recorded on 2-18-23] As #ReadingTheStone enters its final dozen chapters, we find ourselves ruminating over the postlapsarian state of things: the scattering and banishment of most everyone from Grand Prospect Garden, Xifeng's decline and Baochai seemingly being groomed to be the next Xifeng, the ethics of appeasement in a large social …

#ReadingTheStone S2 Episode 5: On Love and Death in the House of Jia 57:42

1+ y ago57:42

57:42

[Originally recorded on 2-11-2023] The theme of this morning's #ReadingTheStone live chat began earlier, with Kate's Twitter poll on where readers fell on The Baoyu-Daiyu-Baochai ship, and whether Daiyu's quiet off-stage demise in the midst of a wedding was unbefitting the exit of a central character. Some other forked paths of conversation centere…

#ReadingTheStone S1 Episode 11: On Goethe v. Proust, Private v. Public Reading, and Hexes 55:46

55:46

[Originally recorded on July 2, 2022] After a lovely first #ReadingTheStone (virtual) face-to-face meetup as part of the Duke APSI Book Club in late June, we returned to our Twitter Spaces live chats in early July, and also dove back into reading the text proper. Eileen revisited one of her favorite moments of multimodal reading at the end of Chapt…

#ReadingTheStone S2 Episode 4: On Daiyu's Near Demise and Recovery, and Zen Koans 1:03:40

1+ y ago1:03:40

1:03:40

[Originally recorded on 2-4-23] #ReadingTheStone discussion centered around Chapters 91-95, though we began the conversation where we left off the previous Saturday, on Daiyu willing her own demise by refusing to eat. The group discussed how Daiyu is absolutely the main character of the final 40 chapters, and whether this is yet another element tha…

#ReadingTheStone S1 Episode 10: On Poetry in the Garden, Gaokao exam questions, and is Baoyu a F-boy? 1:01:33

1+ y ago1:01:33

1:01:33

[Originally recorded on 6-11-2022] Episode 10 saw us ranging widely, though we nominally discussed Chapters 17 to 21. First, we chatted about all the buzz over the 2022 PRC college entrance examination (gaokao) essay question on Dream of the Red Chamber - over tweets and in our live chat this week, we discussed a) whether one needed any knowledge o…

#ReadingTheStone S1 Episode 9 On Embedded Refrains and Incipient Desire in Hongloumeng 57:09

2y ago57:09

57:09

[Conversation originally recorded on 6/4/22] Our 9th week of #ReadingTheStone was lively and wide-ranging both on Twitter and during our Saturday live conversation . Now that the imperial consort's visit has concluded, Chapter 19 seems like a narrative refrain, in showing us the maid Aroma's return visit to an albeit far humbler natal home. We talk…

#ReadingTheStone S1 Episode 8 On Grand Prospect Garden, and The Functions of Naming 59:35

59:35

[Conversation originally recorded on 5/28/22] Our eighth #ReadingTheStone conversation took us into the construction and naming of every nook and cranny inside Grand Prospect Garden, aka 大觀園 Daguanyuan, the future home of Baoyu, Daiyu, and all the young people in the story. We talked about naming as possession and naming as care, temporal fluidity …

#ReadingTheStone S2 Episode 3: On Tragedy, Failure, and Creativity - and Daiyu, of course 55:06

2y ago55:06

55:06

In last week's episode we agreed that the last 40 "Story of the Stone" chapters were giving final season wrap-up-all-the-loose-threads vibes, but perhaps our #ReadingTheStone chats now do that too. We circled back to the topic of one of our first conversations - on failure as generative of creativity, a theme that begins this novel and also structu…

#ReadingTheStone S2 Episode 2: On Daiyu's Anguished Dream, and Final Season Vibes 46:17

2y ago46:17

46:17

The #ReadingTheStone community forged ahead into Chapters 81-85 today, and we encountered so many callbacks to earlier moments to the point that some of us felt that they were giving final-season wrap-up vibes. Many threads and characters' fates are resurfaced, in anticipation of all coming to a head: Baoyu's return to studying for examinations, fu…

#ReadingTheStone Returns! S2 Episode 1 Our First Eighty Chapters of Reading Together 56:05

56:05

#ReadingTheStone had our first Saturday chat of the new year, on January 14, 2023. Last we left off, we had read up to Chapter 80 - and in this first session of the new year, we discussed the textual history of Story of the Stone, how readers and scholars have differentiated between the first 80 chapters (understood to be definitively penned by Cao…

50:51

#ReadingTheStone Episode 7 was supposed to be a continuation of our discussion of the education of Baoyu, the young scion of the Jia family - but Waiyee, Ann, and Eileen were diverted by questions about the 'creation' of the extraordinary Jia daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng. From her keen knowledge of maths and household economy, to her minimal literac…

#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 r…

51:30

Our fifth Saturday chat continues the past week's conversation on Baoyu's sexual initiation - both in dreamland at the end of Chapter 5, and in the 'real world' at the beginning of the following chapter. Waiyee, Ann, and Eileen chat about Granny Liu 劉姥姥, narrative spaces as seen by outsiders and interlopers, and reader/writerly identifications. Tha…

49:10

Eileen, Waiyee, and Ann dive into Chapter 5 of Hongloumeng - and respond to #ReadingTheStone questions about the role of dreams in Chinese literature, translating xian as immortal or fairy, the author's invention of a supernatural pantheon, the illusion of knowledge and the novelistic form, and musical structure as a way of thinking about Chapter 5…
