#vendredilecture c'est Babel, de Rebecca Kuang, qui prend le train avec moi depuis deux jours. Prêté par un ami à qui je l'avais offert, je dois dire que c'est très très prenant, j'en ai déjà tapé une bonne moitié !

I understand the dramatic necessity of combining all sins into a single character, in the sense that having more characters would lead to dilution of the story, but it has the effect of making Professor Grimes into a caricature of the "supervisor from hell", rather than an actual one.

I'm reading "Katabasis" by Rebecca F. Kuang and I guess it's a book that will be particularly appreciated by anyone in academia. It's fiction and mostly set in hell but still deals with a lot of what's wrong with academia and its denizens.
Especially with PhD supervisors -- and I have been one for a very long time. -

Currently halfway through Katabasis. What I love about R.F. Kuang, whether it's Poppy War, Yellowface, Katabasis, is how deeply flawed her protagonists are. Sometimes actively unlikeable. But there's always a logic to the flaws. She explains without excusing. #bookstodon #rfkuang #katabasis

@craftykraken I mostly love #RFKuang. #Katabasis was a slog, though. Yeah, it was absolutely supposed to be one for the characters, by the premise, but I didn't need to relate that hard.

R. F. Kuang sabe perfectamente lo que hace. "Amarilla" transmite a la perfección los temas de los que trata utilizando a June como narradora, un uso perfecto de un narrador no fiable al que se le escapan detalles entre líneas.
Igual la traducción del título se queda un poco corta en las connotaciones, "Amarilla" no llega a transmitir lo mismo que "Yellowface".

Dieses Jahr wollte ich wieder mehr #lesen und habe es geschafft :blobcattoot:
9 #Bücher mit insgesamt 3220 #SeitenDas scheint jetzt für manch einen hier nicht viel, aber da ich tagsüber viele #paper und #dokumentation am Bildschirm zu lesen habe, und abends oft einfach nur noch die Augen zu haben möchte, ist das schon ne Leistung :blobcatboo:
Das beste #Buch dieses Jahr war für mich #Babel von #RFKuang, der größte Reinfall Das #Einhörnchen das rückwärts leben wollte von #WalterMoers

Book 33: “Katabasis” by #RFKuang.
Kuang is clearly smart and has good ideas. Not a very good writer though. Nothing a good editor can’t help, but hers continues to let her down. Seriously, a book where the chapters just follow the story (almost entirely) in a straight line? Great premise—PhD student descends into Hell to retrieve her advisor—but the linearity gets old REALLY fast. 541 pages. Like “Babel,” the writing doesn’t merit this count.

@Mellando ja, habe auch vorher #TravisBaldree gelesen und #RebeccaThorne fühlt sich nicht ganz so rund an, aber auch kein schlichtes Rip-Off. Habe mir den zweiten Band via Libby/Overdrive reserviert - 14 Wochen Wartezeit bei HCPL, "mehrere Monate" bei der Queer Liberation Library QLL. Aber ich habe ja auch noch etwas #RFKuang und seit gestern den neuesten von #SamanthaShannon, auf Papier vor mir - und Edward Underhill "In Between Bookstore" und #DevaFagan "House of Dusk" wollen gehört werden.

Tengo un dilema grave:
Tras leer una novela y media de R.F. Kuang quiero darle todos mis dineros siempre. PERO no quiero darles ni un céntimo a hidra, que es que son lo peor... Qué asco de editorial.Eso no quita que declare públicamente que R.F. Kuang es la Reina del Martes Santo y de ahí para arriba.
Ingresando directamente al panteón de mis escitoras favoritas.
