  • Description: Much better than " a young man in spectacles studying cy| | Many have quite understands s taken offence at the Devil Doctor and £ the paranoid, British imperialist world he inhabits - the Japanese-American Citizens League, for example, unsuccessfully lobbied for the deletion of The Mask ofFu Manchu from the MGM film catalogue in 1972 - but I think there's a larger-than-life quality to Rohmer's creation that makes him more a fantastical fiend than a racial portrait. Frayling apparently wrote this book as an "exorcism" of the orientalist attitudes he took to be the norm as a child, giving Chinese burns in the playground, bowling "Chinamen" on the cricket ground and reading Rohmer.
