R. F. Kuang - KATABASIS (2025)
"Katabasis is the story of two PhD students who travel to hell with the sole purpose of rescuing the soul of
their advisor, Professor Jacob Grimes, who exploded in a freak magical accident that may or may not have been one
of the post-grads’ fault. However, it’s not remorse that leads Alice Law to making this journey. Why must they
descend into the pits of literal hell to save their thesis advisor, you may ask? So that he can write them job
recommendation letters, of course. In traversing the eight courts of hell, Alice Law and Peter Murdoch encounter
time-hardened souls awaiting divine judgement, spindly blood-thirsty bone creatures, a duo of even blood-thirstier
magicians, and plenty more infernal offerings, in order to save Grimes’ soul. "
