Episode 14: Babel, or the Necessity of Violence

This week we’re reading Babel, or the Necessity of Violence by R.F. Kuang.

We’re talking the science of magic, colonialism and the joy of reading a great book for the first time.

We’re also talking the nuances of otherness, transmutation and the tightrope of keeping heavy topics simple.

Holly’s struggling to find the right genre for this book and Harley’s getting ADHD brain tingles.

Transcript coming soon.
