Let's discuss “Yellowface” by R. F. Kuang

We’re reading “Yellowface” by R.F. Kuang. You know that friend who’s a little too obsessed with their own success and would maybe commit literary identity theft if it meant getting a book deal? Yeah—this novel is about that girl. When struggling writer June steals the unpublished manuscript of her dead friend Athena, who just happens to be a literary darling and Asian American, things spiral faster than your last doom scroll. Yellowface is sharp, funny, uncomfortable in all the best ways, and throws serious shade at the publishing world. It’s giving cancel culture meets career anxiety with a splash of thriller energy.

Critics are raving: “A wild ride that will make you laugh, cringe, and think way too hard about your own social media posts” — Celeste Ng. “Biting and brilliant… I devoured it in one sitting” — Zadie Smith.
“This is a great read. Crime, satire, horror, paranoia… But, basically, just a great story.” — Stephen King
