>Marriage is like a fortress besieged: those who are outside want to get in, and those who are inside want to get out.
Daily reminder that Fortress Besieged by Qian Zhongshu needs to be memed as hard as No Longer Human and Mishima so it can get on /lit/'s top 100 novels next year.

the word “novel” is extremely gay. i hate using that word. i just say “book”. you can’t tell someone “i just read a novel” or “i’m in the middle of a great novel” or whatever without sounding extremely gay. basically what im saying is that it’s a really really really really gaaaaayyyyy word

You're gay, and also an idiot. And also, might I add, very gay.

I avoid all novels and films that center on romance. If romance is a big theme, I avoid it altogether.

It's pretty extraordinary how similar to Nabokov's books this is. Still pretty fun

The only romance ends in disaster because the main character is a complete autist. It's more of a satire of China's education system and society during the civil war than it is a "romance" story.

It's not gay if you sit on his face
