Babel has made it on my list of best books of all time. It is impeccably researched and wonderfully intellectual without the snobbery that this topic could have garnered. It challenged me as an academic in a new and refreshing way. I am grateful to this author for not only providing me with glorious entertainment but also inspiration to be a voice and an ear when necessary for change!
