Babel, or The Necessity of Violence

Made it to the 20% mark and still cant figure out why this is classified as science fiction or fantasy. This part is strictly fiction with a desire to talk about translation and the life of a young person in a foreign land.

And where's the plot that this huge tomb is supposed to be conveying?

What an abuse of a reader's and narrator's time! And if in paper what a waste of trees and chemicals!
