Latest #litereads selection was chosen for #asianheritagemonth and was At the Paris Cinema by Shi Zhecun. This early example of Chinese modernist literature wasn't to my taste, but I'm not the biggest fan of modernist literature to begin with and the view point wasn't my thing. It was interesting to try. I hope others got more from it than I did. Be sure to let me know what you think. My full review is in the link below.
