Babel Part 3 of 4 (Book iii - Ch 22)

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOKLife is humming along at Oxford. The group of 4 study and pass finals and Robin is officially OUT of Hermes. Letty convinces the crew to go to the once in a life-time University College Ball, even though the rest of the cohort are certain they will be treated like waitstaff and experience nonstop microaggressions. Letty says, no way! We are all Babel students in polite society. No one will treat you badly. Jokes on everyone as the ball turns out just as bad as the crew thought it would.Lovell finds out about Robin's interaction with Hermes. Instead of getting kicked out of Babel, Lovell tries the nice-guy tactic. This is about as effective as an alligator trying to smile at you. Robin almost falls for it but then ends up doing something that will change the trajectory of his story.------------------------------------------------------------------Notes: this book discusses big themes that neither of us are qualified for: colonialism, racism, sexism, and a few other *isms i'm forgetting.
