bought it in a charity shop for 50p. what should i expect?
as a white man, the fetishistic idol in the eye of the Asian woman, i don't read to or listen to any of their deranged thought and opinions.

not even worth the 50 pence
Fire starter to summon santa
The twist ending is that east asians aren't even really yellow. Their skin is pretty white
>>24944977No you didn't, this is a fake thread.
Competently written thriller. I liked the main characters. It does ultimately have the message that you expect it to but it harshly criticizes performative wokeness and weaponizing victimization and the modern lit industry on the way there. No one ITT except me has read it. I read it for a book club this past summer. If you have any specific questions, ask.
>>24945467Is it a hate whitey story?
>>24945487Not really. Not blatantly at least. The main character is a whitey ripping off an asian author and she's not exactly aspirational; but the asian competitor is also shown to be just as cold and opportunistic, if not moreso.
>>24944977Asian women need to shut the fuck up
>>24945462I genuinely did.
>>24945462>bong makes thread on american image board asking what he should thinkSeems believable to me.
>>24945528This is what I read on the back cover. The idea a white woman would rip anything off from a gook is delusional cope. >>24945562Yes.
>>24946228She finishes her friend's manuscript about Chinese labourers in WWI to sell it to woke publishers.
i've just finished it for my book groupi'd describe it as a book written by, about, and for terminally online internet drama queensthat said it's pretty entertaining and not as preachy as i was dreading
>>24946249I see, thats kind of interesting then. So is this book basically the woke publishing industry pretending to be a little self reflective?
>>24946308It’s called “Yellowface”I bet not.
>>24946106i'd tell you to post pic and timestamp but it'll just be AI
>>24946308Yes. There are no good or righteous characters in the book. Everyone is shown to be an opportunist exploiting identity politics to get ahead in their own careers. But it goes with "actually forced diversity in literature is bad because it forces asian authors to write about being asian". >>24946387The author has a self insert character who is criticized for being an out of touch rich girl who uses her asian background to get ahead. She interviews veterans of the korean war and uses their stories to write her novels. The story questions whether she has any more right than a white author to cynically use their pain for her own profit. It's more nuanced than you would think.
>>24946725>crux of the work is babby's first contentious equivalencecompelling stuff. Blowing out maybe five sentences worth of content into a novel is no small feat. Let me guess, by the end there's no strong conclusion one way or the other.
>>24946751Sort of. By the end the moral questions aren't touched on any further and the focus is on the main character's mental state and the chaos that results from her actions earlier in the story.
>>24946776I hate women so much it's unreal.
>>24946789If you do yourself the disservice of seeing the discussion surrounding this book on places like reddit you'll mostly find women saying that the mc isn't punished hard enough and talking about theories that she actually did way more evil stuff which we don't see because she's an unreliable narrator.The thriller aspect certainly outweighs any social commentary or themes by a large margin and the average reader just reads it as a story about a lady doing bad shit and trying to avoid consequences.

Idk
June did nothing wrong and I was rooting for her the entire story.
