Abstract
Gilles Deleuze’s theory of masochism insightfully illuminates Ha Jin’s novel Waiting; at the same time, Jin’s novel indicates a problem with Deleuze’s fairly rigid separation of masochism and sadism. This essay argues that Waiting supports Deleuze’s position, but also that Deleuze’s theory needs to be further developed and refined.
