Fiction: R.F. Kuang’s novel ‘Katabasis' - Paul Ferguson - 11-17-2025

"In R.F. Kuang’s Katabasis, the study of analytic philosophy is literally the study of magick. Alice Law, Kuang’s protagonist, is a postgraduate in Cambridge’s Department of Analytic Magick in the mid-1980s, and she studies everything from “alchemical scribblings of Samarkand to Wittgenstein’s lost notebooks."
