Page Turner Book Discussion: YellowfaceDiscussion Start Time:Join us to discuss Yellowface by R. F. Kuang. The story follows a young white author who steals the manuscript of her dead Asian friend, finishes it, and publishes it as her own. The highly immersive satirical novel takes us on a thrilling journey through the eyes of a writer who struggles to make her own way in the cut-throat world of publishing. 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. Come by the Info Desk to pick up copy of the book or call us at 847-392-0100 to reserve a copy to pick up. Books are also available as an ebook and eaudiobook on cloudLibrary.
