R.F. Kuang's most recent novel, Babel, was a massive hit with readers this year, and she's back with an intriguing new novel in 2023.

Yellowface is the story of June and Athena, two rising stars in the world of publishing.

While Athena finds acclaim in the field, June stumbles. After Athena dies in a freak accident, June sees the opportunity to co-opt her rival's unfinished manuscript.

The problem was that Athena's work happened to be a novel about Chinese laborers during World War I. June's publisher asks her to rebrand with a new name and an "ambiguously ethnic" author photo to conceal her identity as a white woman for the book's publication.
