Illinois Libraries Present - Babel-On with R.F. Kuang
Wednesday, May 20th, 7:00 PM
Virtual program. Online registration available via library website.
R. F. Kuang writes genre-blending fiction that mixes history, magic, and literary tradition to satirically critique academia and culture—seen in works like Yellowface, Babel, and The Poppy War—and will discuss her latest novel Katabasis in conversation with Book Riot editor Kelly Jensen.
