For May we discuss YELLOWFACE by R.F. Kuang
—an instant NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK.
“Hard to put down, harder to forget.”—Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author
White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel.
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena is a literary darling, while June literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.
With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang’s novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently enjoyable.
