Book Club: Yellowface

About the Event

This month's book is Yellowface by R.F. Kuang, a fast-paced commentary on racism, white privilege, and the publishing industry. The story follows June Hayward, a struggling white author who steals the manuscript of her deceased Chinese-American friend Athena Liu. June publishes Athen's work as her own under the pen name Juniper Song, and the novel explores how she attempts to hide and justify her theft. Electronic formats are available on hoopla.
