I’m cheating, on multiple counts: I put aside the book in German that I have been reading to have something lighter to read. And instead of going through my local library, I bought it on Amazon.
But other than the personal background, I’m now reading “Babel” by R.F. Kuang. Just started a couple of days ago, but is all I expected and more. A steam-punk coming of age novel that confronts racism and colonialism, while talking about the subtleties of languages and the English language in particular. Absolutely great!

Babel sounds fantastic, I’m going to pick it up.
