PenPaperDice@buecher.pnpde.social reviewed Yellowface by R. F. Kuang
What a bitch
4 stars
R. F. Kuang takes us a bit behind the scenes of the worlds of books. Her protagonist is a delusional figure that after a couple of chapters has good reasons for us to hate. She doesn't feel she is wrong at any time.
But this is also what makes it interesting. The rise and fall of a person that things her lucky day came, her passion for writing ignited once again and this should be reason enough for success, right? Right?
Over the course of the book it becomes dark, twisting and more page turning, welcoming the unpleasant truths about the pictured industry, authors being products too and how isolated it could feel.
Great book!
