"Those who read Ding's investigation will never look at critical interpretations of Chinese fiction with the same complacency again."—Robert E. Hegel, author of Reading Illustrated Fiction in Late Imperial China
"In this absorbing study of the multiple lives of a literary classic that is also a popular pornographic text, Naifei Ding steals across the border between cultural studies and feminist/queer literary criticism. Bringing a gendered social history of modern print culture in China into a ‘porous intimacy' with both a critique of interpretive power and a feminist ‘counter-ethics' of reading, Obscene Things is a scholarly work of exceptional creativity. Ding herself is a wonderful storyteller, and her critical narration of the fortunes of Jin Ping Mei will inspire anyone concerned with the how of studying historical modalities of gender, sexuality, status, and cultural power."—Meaghan Morris, Lingnan University
