SuitabookClowns and dragons!
Laurent Richard
- Reading
- Try reading together and pausing to notice what Tao is practising, as well as what makes him lose focus; the ending and full range of comic action remain unclear.
- Themes
- Playfulness and concentration: Tao’s silly antics make it difficult for him to concentrate on martial-arts training. The premise sets a playful disposition against a demanding goal, but does not show whether the story treats one as preferable.
- Worth knowing
- Dragon-slaying and martial-arts training are part of the premise; how much action or harm is actually shown is unclear.
