'Yellowface', R.F. Kuang's latest non-fantasy novel, takes white privilege to a sinister level
"R.F. Kuang's first foray outside of fantasy is a well-executed, gripping, fast-paced novel about the nuances of the publishing world when an author is desperate enough to do anything for success."
You know, encountering this review and then learning that R.F. Kuang won the Nebula award for "Babel" from last year just makes my day. Fantastic news.
:heart_sp_bi: Hi, I'm Clarissa; I write #queer#sciencefiction and #fantasy (and in-between things) as C. C. S. Ryan. You can read some of my short fiction online, but my focus is novels.
I also enjoy #drawing and do #graphicdesign, from book covers to theatre posters - follow me at @wintersweetdesign for art!
Currently I live in (upstate? central?) New York , because California was too expensive to survive in.
