All tickets include a hardcover copy of Yellowface.
Yellowface, the chilling new novel from wunderkind R. F. Kuang, features New York Times bestselling sensation Juniper Song, who is decidedly not who she says she is—she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American. With an immersive first-person voice, this timely novel takes on questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation not only within the publishing industry but in the persistent erasure of Asian American voices and history by Western white society.
Rebecca F. Kuang is the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Poppy War trilogy and Babel: An Arcane History. A Marshall Scholar, she has a Master of Philosophy in Chinese Studies from Cambridge and a Master of Science in Contemporary Chinese Studies from Oxford, and she is now pursuing a PhD in East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale.
