16. A Love Letter to Babel by R.F. Kuang and Why the Story Captivates Readers of All Ages Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

On Wednesday’s episode, Sophie and I discuss Babel. This is a big and buzzy book and there is so much to dissect - we did our best to cover it all.

We both really enjoyed this tome and were wowed by the sheer scope of it, the incredibly well drawn Oxford setting, and the fact that the author is a mere 26 years old!

Join us for a book club style chat!
