A satire on the publishing industry, Yellowface is funny (at times far fetched) and I raced through it. It explores who has the right to create and tell a story, and to whom an idea belongs to. The themes reminded me of John Boyne’s, ‘A Ladder to the Sky’. Yellowface is so different from Babel in its pace and storyline, and Kuang’s versatility means I’m very excited to read her other work.
