Presented as part of Durham Book Festival 2024
We are delighted to welcome internationally acclaimed author Rebecca F. Kuang to Durham to discuss Yellowface, her bestselling novel which spent 18 weeks in the Top Ten in 2023.
When failed writer June Hayward witnesses her rival Athena Liu die in a freak accident, she sees her opportunity… and takes it. So what if it means stealing Athena’s final manuscript? So what if it means ‘borrowing’ her identity? And so what if the first lie is only the beginning…
Rebecca F. Kuang is the #1 New York Times and #1 Sunday Times bestselling and award-winning author of Yellowface, Babel: An Arcane History and the Poppy War trilogy. Her next novel is Katabasis.
Chaired by Simon Savidge.
