It’s hard to think of a young writer as accomplished as RF Kuang (the Poppy War trilogy, Babel, Yellowface and Katabasis).
She’s a #1 New York Times and #1 Sunday Times bestseller; has won the Nebula, Locus, Crawford and British Book Awards; been recognised on the Time ‘100 Next’ and Forbes ‘30 Under 30’ lists, and holds degrees from Cambridge and Oxford, with a Yale PhD in progress – all by the tender age of 29.
Don’t miss Rosabel Tan meeting this exceptionally talented writer whose most recent novel, Katabasis (Ancient Greek for a hero’s descent to the underworld), is a dark academia blockbuster of two Cambridge rivals who make the ultimate journey to protect their careers: to hell.
