Babel was...a lot. It was emotional, it was draining, it was critical, it was candid, it was hopeful, it was fearful, it was frustrated, it was confused.
We covered a lot of ground in this one, and it was always comfortable or pleasant.
In short, and not nearly as eloquent as anything in the book? Empire = bad, capitalism = bad, white people (namely old white men) = the actual worst.
She was heavy on the dark academia, with a light sprinkling of fantasy. She was heavy on me wanting to SCREAM and to THROAT PUNCH Professor Lovell and allllll of his cronies. It has me reexamining my natural tendencies on, well, a lot of things.
Ugh, it was so good and I can't find the right words to do it justice right now.
