Chinese American novelist R.F. Kuang, known for her bestsellers before age 30, discusses her newest novel "Katabasis," a dark fantasy exploring academia and the underworld. Inspired by her reflections on death, she creates a detailed and satirical version of hell, which also serves as a personal revenge on academic pretentiousness. The story follows doctoral student Alice as she navigates hell’s eight courts in pursuit of a recommendation letter, intertwining her research with contemporary themes like institutional critique and political attitudes towards higher education.
