“The original draft made you feel dumb, alienated at times, and frustrated with the self-righteousness of it all. It stank of all the most annoying things about Athena. The new version is a universally relatable story, a story that anyone can see themselves in.”
R.F. Kuang, Yellowface

Jesmyn Ward
“Home is about the earth. Whether the earth open up to you. Whether it pull you so close the space between you and it melt and y’all one and it beats like your heart. Same time. Where my family lived… it’s a wall. It’s a hard floor, wood. Then concrete. No opening. No heartbeat. No air.”
Jesmyn Ward, Sing, Unburied, Sing

R.F. Kuang
“He’s been operating out of the coast and he doesn’t like fish?” “He’s picky.”
R.F. Kuang, The Dragon Republic

“Book hoarders,” Moore explained. “Why would you hoard books in a library?” “To prove that you’ve found them,” said Moore. “To prove you know of them. To prove you have proximity to them. But reading them, that’s too much.”
R.F. Kuang, Katabasis

R.F. Kuang
“Language was just difference. A thousand different ways of seeing, of moving through the world. No; a thousand worlds within one. And translation – a necessary endeavour, however futile, to move between them.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel
