This is a VIRTUAL program, R.F. Kuang will not be here in person. R.F. Kuang’s genre-bending fiction broaches ordinarily serious topics from a satirical and fantastical perspective. Her most recent novel, Katabasis, follows two graduate students as they embark on a journey after the death of their professor, and the screen rights options to the novel were sold before its publication. Kuang’s other bestselling titles include Yellowface, Babel, and The Poppy War trilogy. Kuang is the recipient of several book awards. She is joined in conversation with Kelly Jensen of Book Riot.
