Strombo's Lit with R.F. Kuang, Author of 'Yellowface'

R.F. Kuang’s 5th bestseller Yellowface was our latest Strombo’s Lit pick — a piercing satire that peels back the curtain on the literary industry's glossy veneer, revealing a world of petty politics, bad faith, and best intentions gone awry, all wrapped up in the tale of an author claiming a friend's work as her own.

Rebecca joined me in on a conversation about the book and its themes of revenge, toxic relationships and who gets the right to write about communities other than their own. I also talked with her about how participating in debate clubs influenced her and why she reads authors that challenge her values (including John Steinbeck).
