Yellowface, by Rebecca F. Kuang, is a novel that takes on questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation in the publishing industry. The book is a satire that explores the impact of the industry’s pervasive whiteness and racial blind spots. The story follows a white author who steals a manuscript from the home of a Chinese American novelist who has died in a bizarre accident and plots to pass it off as her own. What follows is a twisty thriller that is a scorching indictment of the publishing industry’s pervasive whiteness and racial blind spots.
The book is a departure from Kuang’s previous work in fantasy fiction, and is a quantum leap straight into the zeitgeist. Yellowface is a dark commentary on the publishing industry and the many-layered ironies of public discourse around Asian American representation, as well as a granular critique of commercial publishing that is viciously satisfying. The book has been praised for its beautiful prose and vivid imagery, and is “satire at its f**king finest”, guaranteed to stay with you long after you have finished reading it.
