📚 September Book Choice: “Yellowface" by R.F. Kuang
"Yellowface" is a provocative and razor-sharp novel that explores the complex intersections of identity, privilege, and cultural appropriation in the literary world. It follows the story of June Hayward, a white author who controversially adopts the unfinished manuscript of an Asian peer. As her deception catapults her to fame, the novel unravels into a piercing exploration of race, ethics in storytelling, and the power dynamics that shape the arts.
