Fantasy book club: «Babel» by R.F. Kuang, Aldecoa, Vitoria-Gasteiz
The Ignacio Aldecoa culture house in Vitoria-Gasteiz runs a club called Narrativas de lo fantástico, where moderated sessions take readers beyond the everyday into stories of other worlds. This month's book is «Babel» by R.F. Kuang, set in 1828 at the Royal Institute of Translation in Oxford, where magic that draws on meanings lost in translation gives the British Empire its power. Robin, an orphan from Canton, realises that serving Babel means betraying his homeland. The session starts at seven in the Orisol room, is free, and is led by the HEVENDAY association with researchers in comparative literature of the University of the Basque Country. The club works in Spanish, Basque and English. «Narrativas de lo fantástico (2026-2027): "Babel" (R.F. Kuang)» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.
