Overview
White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequencesā¦ Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didnāt write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainlyĀ notĀ Asian Americanāin this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1Ā New York TimesĀ bestselling author of Babel.Ā
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athenaās a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.
So when June witnesses Athenaās death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athenaās just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.
So what if June edits Athenaās novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Songācomplete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesnāt this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? Thatās what June claims, and theĀ New York TimesĀ bestseller list seems to agree.
But June canāt get away from Athenaās shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring Juneās (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.
With its totally immersive first-person voice,Ā YellowfaceĀ grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuangās novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.Ā
