Yellowface

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. With its totally immersive first-person voice, YELLOWFACE takes on questions of diversity and cultural appropriation not only in the publishing industry but the persistent erasure of Asian-American voices and history by Western white society. In the vein of White Ivy and The Other Black Girl, R. F. Kuang’s novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.
