Read Between the Spines Book Club In-Person
Do you like talking about books? Join us at the Galena Branch for our new book club for adults! This month's selection is Yellowface by R.F. Kuang. Copies of the book are available to check out at Galena Digital Library for registered participants.
About the book:
In R.F. Kuang’s “Yellowface” a struggling white writer, June Hayward, witnesses successful Asian-American writer, Athena Liu, die in an accident. Driven by ambition and a belief that Athena’s unfinished manuscript deserves to be published, June steals it, edits it, and presents it as her own. Rebranding herself as an ambiguously ethnic author. The novel explores themes of cultural appropriation, racism, as well as a terrifying alienation of social media.
