Babel: An Arcane History by R.F. Kuang
medium-paced
5.0
A brilliant book. By the end, I was a mess but completely floored. And what an extremely timely read. FREE PALESTINE. And may all settler colonial states fall swiftly.
One of my fav quotes:
“It revealed the sheer dependence of the British, who, astonishingly, could not manage to do basic things like bake bread or get safely from one place to another without words stolen from other countries.”
