picked up yellowface by rf kuang and finished it the same day. recommended it to my partner, who also devoured it in three days.

highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy, juicy (in the way of reality tv, so a little anxiety inducing also) read that’s about ego, publishing, the literary establishment’s treatment of minority authors, the actual mechanisms of being cancelled, and the perils of being Extremely On Twitter. a very fun summer read.

Oh! She's on my to-read list with Babel, I'll have to check this one out as well.

i took a look at babel because i loved yellowface but i thought it looked a little daunting haha, you'll have to let me know how it is if you end up reading it!
