This week I've been mainly reading, no. 80.

Very different from Babel, Rebecca F.Kuang's new book Yellowface (2023) looks at the #publishing industry, #identity #politics & #plagiarism. The (unreliable?) narrator concocts a tale of self-justification for stealing her dead friend's book & making it her own. Exploring the role of #socialmedia, Kuang lands most of her critique pretty well & she assembles the quasi-thriller, social fable & rumination on friendship into a readable tale
