Rebecca is a sadist and I am a willing participant. Babel is stunning. It’s uncomfortable. It’s upsetting. It’s magical. This is d e n s e so make sure you’ve got your literature hat on when venturing in. The footnotes are so small but they are so funny. It’s really so so incredible and I think I learned more about the world than I ever did in school… and this was fiction… please read this!!!
