Paperback. Zustand: Fair. INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK "Hard to put down, harder to forget." -- Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences. Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn't write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American--in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel.  Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena's a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena's death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. So what if June edits Athena's novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song--complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn't this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That's what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree. But June can't get away from Athena's shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June's (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves. With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang's novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.&nbsp.…

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. What's the harm in a pseudonym? Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she claims to be--she didn't write the book attributed to her and is not Asian American. In this chilling yet humorous novel, authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were once poised as twin rising stars from Yale, but their paths diverged dramatically. Athena became a literary darling while June struggled for recognition. After witnessing Athena's tragic death, June impulsively steals her completed manuscript, an experimental novel highlighting the contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. June edits and submits the work as her own, rebranding herself as Juniper Song with an ambiguously ethnic author photo. She rationalizes that the story deserves to be told, regardless of the teller, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to validate her actions. However, as evidence of her deception emerges, June finds herself trapped in Athena's shadow, racing to protect her secret. The narrative explores the depths to which June will go to claim what she believes is hers while addressing critical issues of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation in the publishing industry. R. F. Kuang's novel is timely, sharp, and engaging, delving into the erasure of Asian-American voices and history by Western society.…
