"Yellow face" is the first work of Rebecca Kwan, in which she moves away from epic, fantasy and experiments with the genre of satirical novel. This is a story about temptations, passions and conflicts in the world of writers and publishers. About the dream of Fame and the price that a person is willing to pay for it. About envy, Gossip, plagiarism, racism simply and racism "on the contrary".
Athena Liu and Juniper Gayward studied together at Yale, took a writing course, and had to rise to the pinnacle of Fame at the same time. But Athena is a real literary star with six-figure royalties, and almost no one has ever heard of Juniper.
Everything changes when Jun witnesses Athena's sudden death and steals her newly written masterpiece, an experimental novel about the role of Chinese workers in World War I. The writer edits the manuscript and sends it to the agent as her own work. Even allows the publisher to change her last name to Juniper Song, which would hint at her Asian ancestry.
