Yellowface
Yellowface

Literary theft spirals into dark, comedic chaos.

If you love biting satire with a side of moral ambiguity, "Yellowface" could be right up your alley. Rebecca F. Kuang takes us on a twisted journey where the price of literary fame meets a darkly humorous end. As tension escalates and ethical lines blur, the story challenges you to consider the lengths one might go for success while keeping you hooked with its sharp wit.

Description

June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be rising stars. But Athena is a literary darling while June is a nobody. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? This piece of history deserves to be told, whoever the teller. That is what June believes, and The New York Times bestseller list agrees. But June cannot escape Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens her stolen success. As she races to protect her secret she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.
