Yeah, considering that chinese novels were basically unknown in the west till really XX century and west developed that genre independently, it would be fair.
oh i know, but you expect to be mostly reading stories when you sign up for a class like that, maybe spend a week on some other stuff but mostly novels or short stories
Huh, at university level I would expect mostly articles and discussion about the literature, you'd be reading the literature in your own time (if you wanted, they'd give you excerpts for the tutorials if necessary). I imagine sitting around a table while a grad student tries to coax answers about why this historian's interpretation of Chaucer is good or bad.
Idk about the communist pirates though, personally I think lectures are bad and classes should be small enough to adopt a more conversational tone.

Not true. Chinese were printing 1000+ page novels when Euros still thought putting up few rhymes is height of literature.
