Fame, Fraud & the Publishing Machine | Yellowface by R.F. Kuang [Book Discussion & Summary]

📚 Who gets to tell the story—and at what cost?In Yellowface, R.F. Kuang delivers a razor-sharp literary satire that skewers the publishing industry, cultural appropriation, and the slippery ethics of authorship. When struggling white writer June Hayward steals an unpublished manuscript from her late Asian American friend Athena Liu, she passes it off as her own—and skyrockets to fame. But guilt, internet scrutiny, and identity politics threaten to unravel everything she’s built. Fast-paced, biting, and uncomfortably timely, this novel pulls no punches.📖 Purchase Yellowface on Amazonhttps://amzn.to/4jIDg4r🎧 Listen to the audiobook on Audiblehttps://amzn.to/4397feH💬 Is June a villain, a mirror, or something more complicated?
