Book Club | Yellowface

Join us for a bold, timely, and conversation-sparking book club discussion!

In Yellowface, R.F. Kuang delivers a sharp, satirical look at ambition, identity, and the darker side of the publishing world. When a struggling writer witnesses a shocking tragedy, she makes a choice that launches her into sudden literary fame—but at a steep ethical cost. What follows is a gripping exploration of cultural appropriation, privilege, performative allyship, and who gets to tell which stories.

This novel is fast-paced, provocative, and layered—perfect for thoughtful discussion and diverse perspectives. Expect a lively conversation as we unpack the characters, themes, and uncomfortable questions Yellowface so skillfully raises.

All are welcome—whether you loved it, hated it, or are still deciding how you feel.

Come for the book, stay for the conversation, connection, and community. We look forward to reading and reflecting together!

The Women’s Impact book club meets the second Monday of each month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Books are chosen, and discussions are facilitated by book club participants. Locations vary each month.
