Thus I was really interested to hear what the panel had to say and I was not disappointed, as I found the discussion informative, thought-provoking and quite amusing at times.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EShehan Karunatilaka had only read the book for the panel and showed us his brown paper-covered copy, which he had been too embarrassed to read openly in public. He decided to look at the book as porn and a fantasy, and from that perspective, he didn’t think it was that bad. Yes, the character of Christian Grey is incredibly unrealistic – ‘a 27-year old gorgeous billionaire, who flies helicopters and plays the piano at midnight’ and the protagonist is a blank slate whom the reader can project themselves onto, but he thought it was perfectly targeted at its audience, just like \u003Ci\u003ETwilight\u003C\/i\u003E was perfectly targeted towards its audience, teenage girls.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ctable cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;\"\u003E\u003Ctbody\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-n6-E7XfS35s\/UZnbx7PWI1I\/AAAAAAAAAMI\/hKkrtCWMTiA\/s1600\/CattonbyRobertCatto.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; cssfloat: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"145\" pua=\"true\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-n6-E7XfS35s\/UZnbx7PWI1I\/AAAAAAAAAMI\/hKkrtCWMTiA\/s200\/CattonbyRobertCatto.jpg\" width=\"200\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003Ctr\u003E\u003Ctd class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003EEleanor Catton\u003C\/td\u003E\u003C\/tr\u003E\u003C\/tbody\u003E\u003C\/table\u003EEleanor Catton enjoyed the book much more than the \u003Ci\u003ETwilight\u003C\/i\u003E series, she thought the relationship between the two main characters was a healthier and more adult relationship than that of Edward and Bella in \u003Ci\u003ETwilight\u003C\/i\u003E, which she believed was very damaging. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENicky Pellegrino, on the other hand, had enjoyed \u003Ci\u003ETwilight\u003C\/i\u003E and the relationship in those books and felt the relationship between Christian and Anastasia in 50 Shades of Grey was disturbing and unbalanced. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESarah Stuart saw the \u003Ci\u003E50 Shades of Grey\u003C\/i\u003E phenomenon as positive in allowing women to indulge their sexual fantasies. She thought it was great that women were talking to each other about erotica and that it had become acceptable for women to read it and talk about it. It was also brought up that many women over the age of 50, and even of retirement age, were reading it, to the surprise of some. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOverall, the panel surprised me. Except for the moderator Nicky Pellegrino, the other three panelists had generally positive things to say about the book, to the consternation of some in the audience going by the questions afterwards. Some questions referenced the relationship between the two main characters, which mirrored all the warning signs of an abusive relationship as suggested by Women’s Refuge. Another audience member was concerned about the implications for feminism, but Eleanor Catton said that as an author, there’s nothing you can do about how your work is perceived by others, you put it out there and from then on people make their own interpretations of it. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI felt that the panel looked at the book and defended it mainly from an author’s perspective, which is fair enough, as they are authors. It was a very entertaining hour and I was glad to have been there for this fantastic discussion on the publishing phenomenon of 2012. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E-- Angela Kitt"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/albooksinthecity.blogspot.com\/feeds\/6509550726076488442\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/albooksinthecity.blogspot.com\/2013\/05\/fifty-shades-of-wtf-at-awrf-2013.html#comment-form","title":"4 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/2501884760724421053\/posts\/default\/6509550726076488442"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/2501884760724421053\/posts\/default\/6509550726076488442"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/albooksinthecity.blogspot.com\/2013\/05\/fifty-shades-of-wtf-at-awrf-2013.html","title":"Fifty Shades of WTF at AWRF 2013"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Karen Craig"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/18310967522076681423"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"23","height":"32","src":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-WaLn2rFYxqE\/UNvHlimMvBI\/AAAAAAAAABY\/ceYnAw1lZEk\/s220\/The%2BLibrarian.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-n6-E7XfS35s\/UZnbx7PWI1I\/AAAAAAAAAMI\/hKkrtCWMTiA\/s72-c\/CattonbyRobertCatto.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"4"}}]}});
