An ugly story about writing, publishing, opportunism, ambition, racism, cancel culture, etc.

Despite the tough topics, I thought this was very well-done.

Bravo!

dabbe Have you read BABEL by her? I liked this one, but BABEL was stunning! (IMHO) 🤗 5d
jdiehr @dabbe Yes! I agree 💯 5d

What a book. I love a good satire and this one is so well written you sometimes forget it is one.

This feels like one of those “I support women‘s wrongs.” While I don‘t like how June took her life, the writing of Kuang is so fluid it‘s hard to dislike their story. No, I don‘t like June. She did a not good thing, though I don‘t think she was treated a fair way either. The fascinating part of this book is how Kuang writes the book into this exploration of the publishing industry. How unfair it is to those seen as revolutionary writers.

Identity and he marginalizing of writers of color, Yellowface is a timely and thought provoking novel. It‘s a complicated and complex novel, well written, and rife with unlikeable and yet fascinating characters. Readers who enjoy satire will appreciate this view of publishing as well.

I smiled like a Cheshire Cat while listening to this whole audiobook—and I loved to hate this deliciously devilish MC.
There was a twist later on that made her almost sympathetic, but still, she‘s a horrible horrible person.
It was a fascinating dive into the publishing world. And the narration (Helen Laser) was SO clutch!

Thank you @Itchyfeetreader @monalyisha for #AuldLangSpine and lighting a fire under me to FINALLY read this one!!

4.5/5 ⭐️
Incollata alle pagine fino alla fine
A tratti mi sentivo così vicina alla protagonista e alle volte così lontana, ma comunque provavo quel senso di empatia per una persona che continua a lottare nonostante tutto per ritagliarsi il suo angolo in un mondo estremamente competitivo e senza scrupoli

The protagonist June is so self absorbed. This novel is as much about the publishing industry as it is about the addictive nature of social media. Well written - humorous and clever.
