“RF Kuang, who you might know for yellowface, babble, or catavistus”
“And then when I was writing Yellowface, that was very much written in the tone of a online flame war.”
“Her last book, Yellowface, was a total swerve for her. This was a racial satire of the publishing industry.”
“Her latest work is Yellowface, which I loved. Stephen King described it as the following, quote, "This is a great read. Crime, satire, horror, paranoia, questions of cultural appropriation, Plenty of nasty social media pile-ons, too, but basically just a great story. Hard to put down, harder to forget."”
“Now, a lot of your latest book, Yellowface, deals with the book trade, being a best-selling author.”
“When I wrote Yellowface, this was during mid-2021, so we were all at home and largely existing on the internet, which was the worst place to be.”
“Anyway, Rebecca, thank you very much. Her new book, Loved It Yellowface, out this year, and she tells us over time there will be at least three more books coming.”
