"A spellbinding and poignant story that had me riveted to the pages, R.F. Kuang's Katabasis is more than a novel to savor. This book is an experience. I envy those who get to read it for the first time." - Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals
"Her magnificent novel uses satire to shine a light on systemic racial discrimination and the truth that often hides behind the twisted narratives constructed by those in power." - Booklist (starred review) of Yellowface
"Hard to put down, harder to forget." - Stephen King on Yellowface
"Viciously satisfying…addictive." - New York Times Book Review on Yellowface

"Rich with allusion and illusion, Kuang crafts a witty, gory, harrowing ride that thoroughly roasts the perils and power structures of academia, while never losing sight of what it means to have a fragile, human heart." - #1 New York Times bestselling author, Leigh Bardugo on Katabasis
"'Katabasis' shines with devastatingly real characters and absorbing world building." - New York Times
