Title: Performative reading
Post by: Steve H on June 30, 2025, 03:08:32 PM

I've seen plenty of people reading classics in public -a woman reading 'the Picture of Dorian Gray' on a train, for instance - and I've done it myself, but whether they were performatively reading or just reading, I know not.
