Episode 5
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.
