Yellowface Cropped - 1
Read
R.F. Kuang took the literary world by storm in 2022 with Babel:An Arcane History, a sweeping fantasy that investigates racist structures in academia. In Kuang’s 2023 release Yellowface, Kuang returns with a witty contemporary story that follows June Hayward, a young author who believes her novel would be more successful if she wasn’t white. After a freak accident, she steals the manuscript of her college friend and publishes under a fake name and fake race. A cutting look at diversity and racism in the publishing industry, this book is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
