Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang

From the acclaimed author of Babel and The Poppy War series comes Yellowface, a bold, provocative, and unsettling novel that dissects the cutthroat world of publishing. Rebecca F. Kuang delivers a gripping narrative that examines racism, privilege, and ambition in the literary industry.

When struggling writer June Hayward witnesses the sudden death of her more successful Asian American friend, Athena Liu, she makes a split-second decision that will change everything—she steals Athena’s unfinished manuscript and publishes it as her own. Under a new identity, she rises to literary stardom, but maintaining her stolen success becomes a battle against exposure, guilt, and a world that won’t stop questioning her authenticity.

As June navigates internet backlash, industry politics, and her own spiraling self-deception, Yellowface holds up a mirror to the complexities of cultural appropriation, social media outrage, and the hunger for literary fame. This unforgettable psychological thriller will leave readers questioning the stories they consume—and who gets to tell them.
