Je me souviens de Babylone

Malouf's vivid descriptions and character perspectives make me wonder how much of this story is shaped by historical fact versus artistic interpretation.

The emotional depth of their struggles really resonated with me, but I’m curious if others felt the same sense of yearning and alienation.

The way Malouf explores identity and belonging feels so nuanced — I wonder what motivated him to delve into these themes through this specific setting.
