i do not and will never care that much about r.f. kuang bc i have no interest in the books she writes but i can't help but wonder if the furore around the (currently seemingly contextless) israeli character in her upcoming book is being driven by the same litfic people giving lost lambs 5 stars despite it being quite explicitly islamophobic. book that may turn out to be in poor taste vs one which we know def is
