International sensation R.F. Kuang is no stranger to the highs of literary stardom with her string of bestselling books – the Poppy War trilogy, Yellowface and Babel: An Arcane History.

But her newest fantasy epic, Katabasis, takes a drastic turn, straight to hell. Inspired by the Ancient Greek tradition of the hero journeying into the underworld, Katabasis is a mythical, fantastical romp full of magic, philosophy and a touch of romance. 

Join Nebula and British Book Award winner R.F. as she discusses her legendary literary career with host Carody Culver.
