Building Babel
Suniti Namjoshi

Every retelling of a myth is a reworking of it. Every hearing or reading of a myth is a recreation of it. It is only when we engage with a myth that it resonates, becomes charged and recharged with meaning. And so it is in Building Babel, a book that re-engages with myth through the cyberworld, where worlds intersect and are transformed.

Exploratory and experimental, Suniti Namjoshi's work is studied around the world for its transformative creations.

Reviewer: John Burnside

Building Babel has stories within stories. It can be likened to a game of chess; the moves the reader will make depend on the degree of sophistication they wish to lend to the reading.’

Reviewer: Heather Nix

‘Building Babel [is] an important development in Namjoshi’s writing and an interesting experiment for fiction in general.’
