Maggiori informazioni sul libro
What's the harm in a pseudonym? Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she claims to be—she didn't write the book attributed to her and is not Asian American. In this chilling yet humorous novel, authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were once poised as twin rising stars from Yale, but their paths diverged dramatically. Athena became a literary darling while June struggled for recognition. After witnessing Athena's tragic death, June impulsively steals her completed manuscript, an experimental novel highlighting the contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. June edits and submits the work as her own, rebranding herself as Juniper Song with an ambiguously ethnic author photo. She rationalizes that the story deserves to be told, regardless of the teller, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to validate her actions. However, as evidence of her deception emerges, June finds herself trapped in Athena's shadow, racing to protect her secret. The narrative explores the depths to which June will go to claim what she believes is hers while addressing critical issues of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation in the publishing industry. R. F. Kuang's novel is timely, sharp, and engaging, delving into the erasure of Asian-American voices and history by Western society.
