Review: Yellowface by R.F. Kuang An author's easiest target is always themselves. That's a paraphrase of a real quote that would have probably been misappropriated had I bothered to look up where the original one had come from. This is hands down the most laugh out loud funny thing I have read in a year, easily. It's not often I have to use more than two hands for a laugh out loud moment while reading a novel. Anyways, it's hard to get into specifics without spoliers but Kuang is very unaffraid to crap where they get their bread. This is. nothing new in the literary world but the author really 'commits to the bit' as the kids are saying these days. Kuang makes you feel uncomfortable for here *her mostly oblivious yet certainly f*ed in the head main character. Some of the white isms felt too strong to be accurate, but then I thought again about them and nope, all of that's real. You've met all of these people. They all suck, but they're so full that you feel for them. To me that is the mark of someone that knows their craft. Five stars. Ten out of then. Readi *read it!. It blows m
