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 psychological thriller 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 in the world of literary fiction. 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 from a masterfully crafted unreliable narrator 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.
