R.F. Kuang’s genre-bending fiction broaches ordinarily serious topics from satirical and fantastical perspective. Academic yet approachable, Kuang’s work combines history, magic, and classical literary tradition to render powerful critiques of academia, the publishing industry, and even contemporary popular culture.

Illinois Libraries Present (ILP) is a statewide collaboration among public libraries offering premier events funded in part by an Illinois State Library grant.
