Babel fiction refers to a type of fictional work that often involves complex language, multiple voices or perspectives, and a sense of chaos or confusion in communication, much like the story of the Tower of Babel where languages were confounded. It can be a form of postmodern literature that challenges the traditional notions of a single, coherent narrative.
Well, the story of Babel varies depending on the source. In some versions, it's about humanity's hubris in trying to build a tower to the heavens, which leads to confusion in language. This is seen as a divine punishment. Different cultures and religions might have their own spins on it.
Babel is indeed a standalone novel. It's crafted to provide a self-contained and satisfying reading experience. There are no related books that directly follow or precede it in the storyline.
