I could barely make it through the first comment. burgundy, the readers of the 1960's? It would be unusual and maybe a little shocking, but not drop-dead shocking.

The Chinese ones were a little stereotypical, but they were parodies of that mindset. The Chinese detective was Charlie Chan. Yes, they could have chosen Hercule Poirot as a the French detective, but using a Chinese detective seems to make the book actually more inclusive. The second one was NOT rape. The woman tries to blame the lichee nuts for her own sexual curiosity. Ally, deflowerment by complete strangers in public places is the only way to go. Geez, violet.

The first entry did not involve rape. ("He asked her") Secondly, the entire book is about awkward and strange sexual situations under often deceitful circumstances. It's a satire of Victorian sensibilities that were simultaneously prudish and misogynistic. But I guess it went over your heads. You two are idiots.
