I'm thoroughly enjoying Katabasis, but I do on occasion wonder who R.F. Kuang's Oxbridge informant/researcher is. Wetherspoons is not really a student party spot, and considering Oxford's divide between "Town and Gown" I doubt a student would even set foot in one of them. Not to mention that in the 80s, when this book appears to be set, Wetherspoons was still confined to the London area.
