humblej 's review for:

Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delany
1.0
challenging slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Pompous drivel. I understand the power of language and how we might be able to better express ourselves in one language over another. This book leans into that but takes us on a nonsensical journey where the simplest situation has to be said in the most convoluted way.
