SUMMARY:Monday Morning Book Club: Yellowface
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of Yellowface\, the bestselling novel by R.F. Kuang. When up-and-coming author Athena Liu dies in a tragic accident\, fellow writer June Hayward seizes the moment\, and Athena’s unpublished manuscript. Rebranded as Juniper Song\, June rockets to literary fame with a stolen story about Chinese laborers in World War I. But as the truth threatens to surface\, June must reckon with the cost of her deception. Told in a sharp\, compulsively readable voice\, Yellowface explores questions of racism\, authorship\, cultural appropriation\, privilege\, and the power of social media. Copies of the book are available at the front desk\, and new members are welcome!
