Analysis of Yellowface

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Yellowface” by Rebecca F. Kuang explores the complex world of literary ambition, identity, and cultural appropriation. The story follows June Hayward, a struggling writer who steals the unfinished manuscript of her successful, Asian-American friend Athena Liu after her sudden death. June decides to complete and publish the manuscript as her own, leading to unforeseen success. The novel delves into themes of envy, the ethics of authorship, and the exploitation of marginalized voices in the literary industry. Through June's actions, the book critically examines the blurred lines between inspiration, appropriation, and the desire for fame.
