DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to register for a thrilling conversation with R
 ebecca F. Kuang as she chats with us about her bestselling novel\, Yellowf
 ace. .\nhttps://lclibrary.libnet.info/event/10281837
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>Yellowface</em> grapples with question
 s of diversity\, racism\, and cultural appropriation\, as well as the terr
 ifying alienation of social media.</p>\n<p>In&nbsp\;<em>Yellowface</em>\, 
 Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars.
  But Athena&rsquo\;s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody.
  Who wants stories about basic white girls\, June thinks.</p>\n<p>So when 
 June witnesses Athena&rsquo\;s death in a freak accident\, she acts on imp
 ulse: she steals Athena&rsquo\;s just-finished masterpiece\, an experiment
 al novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World W
 ar I.</p>\n<p>So what if June edits Athena&rsquo\;s novel and sends it to 
 her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand h
 er as Juniper Song&mdash\;complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo
 ? Doesn&rsquo\;t this piece of history deserve to be told\, whoever the te
 ller? That&rsquo\;s what June claims\, and the&nbsp\;New York Times&nbsp\;
 bestseller list seems to agree.</p>\n<p>But June can&rsquo\;t get away fro
 m Athena&rsquo\;s shadow\, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June&r
 squo\;s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her sec
 ret\, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks sh
 e deserves.</p>\n<p>White lies\, dark humor\, and deadly consequences awai
 t within the pages of&nbsp\;Yellowface. With its totally immersive first-p
 erson voice\, Kuang&rsquo\;s novel is timely\, razor-sharp\, and eminently
  readable. Register to join the conversation!&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>About the Aut
