Yellowface
by R.F. Kuang
challenging
reflective
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
fundamentally, this book asks the questions, who has the right to tell certain stories, and what happens when that code is violated?
throughout the book, I found myself oscillating between two emotions: utter contempt and pity for June. her descent into paranoia and fear was pitiful, but her blatant lies and gaslighting was contemptible.
ultimately, Rebecca F Kuang leaves the reader to decide the answers to these questions, and Yellowface should leave you feeling disgusted with the world and, perhaps, with yourself.
