"Athena Liu is a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. For adults.
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?
Join us as we consider R. F. Kuang's Yellowface. Copies are available at the Customer Service desk and newcomers are always welcome!"
