A gripping literary thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Babel, Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang dives headfirst into the cutthroat world of publishing, privilege, and cultural appropriation.
June Hayward, a struggling white author, witnesses the sudden death of her more successful Asian-American writer friend, Athena Liu. In a moment of desperation, June seizes Athena’s unpublished manuscript — and rebrands it as her own under the ambiguous name “Juniper Song.” The book becomes a breakout success. But fame comes at a cost, and the truth has a way of surfacing.
Timely, darkly funny, and unflinchingly honest, Yellowface unpacks the politics of who gets to tell what stories — and who gets the credit. Rebecca F. Kuang delivers a satirical, fast-paced narrative that challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about race, representation, and the literary world.
Perfect for fans of psychological drama, cultural critique, and morally complex characters, Yellowface is a must-read that will leave you questioning the stories we consume and the people behind them.
