About the Event
Grab a drink from the bar and settle for a live stream watch party of Rebecca F. Kuang’s sold-out conversation with host Beverley Wang, followed by an in-person book signing with Kuang herself.
Investigating diversity, racism and cultural appropriation with the thrilling pace of a Twitter meltdown, Rebecca F. Kuang’s 2023 novel Yellowface has captivated readers across literary and BookTok communities alike.
At her only Melbourne event, Kuang will discuss her successful career, plagiarism, privilege, and the state of the publishing industry with host Beverley Wang.
A New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author, Kuang’s previous works include the Poppy War trilogy and the dark academia novel Babel: An Arcane History, both of which garnered rave reviews. Yellowface is her fifth novel.
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from a literary trailblazer about why she won’t write in the same genre twice and the overdue conversations she’s ignited in the publishing world.
This event will be a live stream of Rebecca F Kuang: Yellowface at The Wheeler Centre. Ticket buyers will be able to join the book signing with the author at Melbourne City Conference Centre immediately after the live stream concludes.
