I’m reading The Secret History this month, because Babel by R F Kuang is a thematic response. I really enjoyed Babel, and I want to know what Kuang saw in Donna Tartt’s book.

I didn't know she was inspired by the Secret History, though that makes sense from what I've heard.

I am definitely intending to read The Secret History because people have talked about how similar Babel was to it and I really enjoyed Babel
