Review title: fatal mistake
Product review: This book makes a fatal mistake. It discusses Wang Shuo's novella ANIMAL VICIOUS and Jian Wen's film adaption at the same time. Of course, it is OK. However, the writer seems to be so confused herself that she keeps turning to the film version when she is supposed to discuss the original novella. It is OK too. But in the bibliography of the book, there is only the entry for the novella, but none for the movie. In other words, the author seems to imply (and it seems that she believes so) that the film and the novella are the same text. The conflation of the film and the novella is a symptom of the scholar's absent-mindedness. It is not professional. Also, I agree with the other reader: this book is surprisingly heterosexual-centered. Ignorance of any gay presence in Chinese lit at large is shocking.
