Yellowface by R.F. Kuang is a laugh-out-loud, razor-sharp satire that takes on cultural appropriation, cancel culture, and white supremacy in the literary world. The main character’s insufferable internal dialogue is cringy in the best way, making you laugh and wince at the same time. Kuang absolutely nails the humor and commentary, delivering a super clever takedown of privilege and the messy side of publishing.
