Wordfest welcomes bestselling fantasy phenom R.F. Kuang with her highly anticipated novel Katabasis, a dark academia tour de force drenched in magic, which author Leigh Bardugo calls “a witty, gory, harrowing ride.” Kuang’s oeuvre (including Babel and Yellowface) has established her as a master of storytelling. This can’t-miss conversation starts at 7PM MT and will be hosted by Paula Turcotte. This event includes an audience Q & A and book signing, fueled by Shelf Life Books.
