Let me know if you’ve come across of any Anglo-American writer who took up the cause of exploited Russian/French ballet dancers the way they did with Chinese foot binding.

Jet lag thoughts #2: Putting their very different class dynamics aside, aren’t the objectification and mutilation of women in both ballet and foot binding are uhmmmmm…. A bit… ughmmm??

Jet lag thoughts: is anyone else getting “Silly Novels by Lady Novelists” vibes from booktok?
