Die Synopsis dieses Romans könnte sehr kurz ausfallen: „Yellowface“ ist ein Buch über eine junge, erfolglose Autorin, die das Manuskript ihrer verstorbenen Kollegin stiehlt und als ihren eigenen Roman veröffentlich, der zum Bestseller wird. Ein Plagiat!

Aber für simple Geschichten ist „Yellowface“-Autorin Rebecca F. Kuang auch nicht bekannt. Die 27-Jährige Kuang ist kommerziell mega erfolgreich, ein Shooting Star der amerikanischen Buchlandschaft.
