KUANG R F YELLOWFACE

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK - EXCERPT TO NEW NOVEL KATABASIS!
"Hard to put down  harder to forget." -- Stephen King 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 . Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena's
a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls
June thinks. 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. 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. But June can't get away from Athena's shadow  and emerging
evidence threatens to bring June's (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect
her secret  she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.
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. R.F.
Kuang's novel is timely  razor-sharp  and eminently readable.
