A must read commentary on the line between representation and exploitation and those who are willing to cross it for fame. Yellowface really is THAT bitch.' - Olivie Blake, New York Times Bestselling author of The Atlas Six 'A spiky, snarky, shady, smart, sinister take on white privilege' - Nikki May, author of Wahala 'Yellowface is brilliant satire-thought provoking, thrilling, and hitting a little too close to home. Kuang's oeuvre consistently finds new ways to expose and interrogate systems of power, in this case tackling the commodification and consumption of art with both swagger and sophistication. Kuang boldly interrogates literary hot-button issues like privilege, appropriation, and authenticity, leaving it open for readers themselves to decide where to draw the line.' - Zakiya Dalila Harris, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Black Girl 'Yellowface is a brittle, eviscerating read that affected me bodily. 'Yellowface is one of the most transfixing novels I've read in ages. Kuang's novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.

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. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.

But June can't get away from Athena's shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June's (stolen) success down around her. 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? Doesn't this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That's what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree. So when June witnesses Athena's death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. 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 the #1 New York Times bestselling author R.
