Edit: The themes of the novel speak to how academia, particularly the humanities, continue to debate the ethics and responsibilities of translation and research. Some of the conversations between Robin, his cohort, and their professors sounded familiar, if not more overt, in the institution’s acceptance of colonization and belief in academia/knowledge as objective truth. (I will be rereading this book in a couple months and then again later on).
