E63 - Katabasis, Spoiler Filled (Episode 3 of 3) - "Grimes' Crimes"
<p>The final installment of our deep dive into R. F. Kuang’s Katabasis is finally here!! Even three episodes in, we somehow still have more to say about this dark academic journey to hell. </p><p><br></p><p>Corinne flexes her academic muscles in a conversation about consent in fantasy (and academic reality). Then we wrap up by turning to the book’s ending and our feelings about Alice and Peter's relationship.</p><p><br></p><p>As a bit of a content warning, Katabasis deals with abuse and suicidal ideation. Because these themes are pretty central to the novel, we won’t be able to provide specific timecodes for when it comes up in our own discussion, but wanted to make sure you know going in. </p><p><br></p><p>Many thanks to our pinch-hitter editor, Jordan, who handled this episode! </p><p><br></p><p>Episode was recorded October 19, 2025</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Show Notes</strong>:</p><ul><li>Support us on Ko-Fi: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/sexlovelitpodcast">https://ko-fi.com/sexlovelitpodcast</a></li><li>Listen to our Joy Sparked: SLL Song Recs playlist: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/50MNBI1kYKdJgxh8CzEJF1?si=d9df62854c684557">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/50MNBI1kYKdJgxh8CzEJF1?si=d9df62854c684557</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Other lit mentioned this episode: Tess of the Road</p><p><br></p><p>On Future SLL Episodes: Isekai and Transmigration</p><p><br></p><p>Don't forget to subscribe to Sex.

E62 - Katabasis, Spoiler Filled (Episode 2 of 3) - "She is a character (derogatory)"
<p>Episode two of our Katabasis deep dive is finally here! For some reason, we start the first of our spoiler-filled episodes with a sports metaphor before grumbling about Alice and Peter as academic types with whom we are quite familiar (and spoiler alert, we don’t like them).</p><p><br></p><p>We also consider Kuang’s construction of hell as a university–but with the pretty clear argument that salvation is definitely not a dissertation.</p><p><br></p><p>As a bit of a content warning, Katabasis deals with abuse and suicidal ideation. Because these themes are pretty central to the novel, we won’t be able to provide specific timecodes for when it comes up in our own discussion, but wanted to make sure you know going in. </p><p><br></p><p>Many thanks to our pinch-hitter editor, Jordan, who handled this episode!
