SAL Presents
Tickets for this event will go on sale Tuesday, June 17 at noon. Dante’s Inferno meets Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi in this all-new dark academia fantasy from R. F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, in which two graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul—perhaps at the cost of their own. Tickets with “& Book” include a copy of Katabasis. In-person ticket holders will pick their book up at the venue the night of their event; streaming ticket holders will have a copy of the book shipped to their door. There will not be a book signing after this event.
