Yellowface by R. F. Kuang is a sharp, satirical contemporary novel that exposes the dark side of the publishing industry. The story follows June Hayward, a struggling white author who witnesses the sudden death of her more successful Asian-American friend, Athena Liu. Seizing the chance, June steals Athena’s unpublished manuscript and rebrands it as her own work under a racially ambiguous pen name.
As June’s career skyrockets, she becomes entangled in a web of lies, online scrutiny, and cultural debates about identity, appropriation, and representation. With biting wit and incisive social commentary, Kuang delivers a thought-provoking narrative about race, privilege, and the cost of ambition in modern publishing.
