WiN Book Club: Yellowface (in-person)
Event Details
Join us for a captivating discussion of Yellowface by R.F. Kuang, an unflinching examination of cultural appropriation, identity, and the murky ethical boundaries in the publishing world. In this gripping novel, Kuang takes us inside the mind of June Hayward, a writer who steals her late friend's manuscript and masquerades as a Chinese-American author. As we dive into this thought-provoking narrative, we’ll explore themes of racial privilege, the commodification of culture, and the lengths to which people will go for fame and success.
During the event, we'll reflect on the complexities of June's character, the novel’s exploration of identity, and its broader societal implications. Prepare for an engaging discussion that will challenge the way we think about authorship, cultural representation, and the stories we tell.
Whether you’re reading the book for the first time or revisiting it, we welcome your insights, questions, and personal reflections. This is a chance to engage with a powerful narrative and share your thoughts with fellow readers who are eager to dissect the ethical and social issues presented in Yellowface.
Don’t miss out on this exciting event—grab your copy of the book and come ready to dive deep into the world of Yellowface.
