In this page-turning dark academia fantasy, two graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to the underworld to save their professor’s soul… perhaps at the cost of their own.
One of contemporary fiction’s most compelling young voices, Kuang joins Melbourne Writers Festival for a riveting conversation about writing genre-defying novels, the perils and power structures of academia, and her deeply researched approach to building the hellish world of Katabasis. With Astrid Edwards.

This stunning deluxe edition features foiled board, designed endpapers, as well as sprayed edges including a specially designed fore-edge.
