    We’re back with another section of Katabasis by R.F. Kuang, and this week we’re covering Chapters 15 through 21. Big questions are being raised. Who is the boatman? Where are Peter and Alice really headed?


    Plus, we share some great listener feedback on climbing, academia, reincarnation, and how Peter and Alice complement each other.

    Next week: We’ll continue with Chapters 22 through 28, so read ahead and join us for more of the descent. Reply on Bluesky
