One of the most brilliant, razor-sharp books Ive had the pleasure of reading that isnt just an alternative fantastical history, but an interrogative one; one that grabs colonial history and the Industrial Revolution, turns it over, and shakes it out. Shannon Chakraborty, bestselling author of The City of Brass From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comesBabel, a thematic response toThe Secret Historyand a tonal retort toJonathan Strange & Mr. Norrellthat grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British empire.
