R.F. Kuang Talks to Vogue About Literature, Curiosity and How to Live a Good Life

Vogue sits down with contemporary fiction author R.F. Kuang ('Babel', 'Yellowface', 'The Poppy War', 'Katabasis') to build a ‘curriculum’ for modern life. What are the subject areas or niches that she loves that she feels have contributed to her worldview significantly? What are the books, movies, artworks or pieces of music that have fundamentally shaped her? What habits, quotes and ideas, collected across the course of her life so far, that have stayed with her? What does living a good life even mean?
