Two books recontextualizing American history hit our hardcover nonfiction list both look at long-sanctified figures and institutions with a new eye. The book is fantasy writer Kuang’s fifth, and it joins the ranks of two other recent, much-anticipated novels that skewer the industry for its faults, and especially its handling of issues related to race: Zakiya Dalila Harris’s The Other Black Girl and Raven Leilani’s Luster, both debuts.
Kuang’s Yellowface, at #7, an “excellent satire” that “provides a sharp analysis of publishing’s blind spots,” according to our starred review. The latest to hit our hardcover fiction list is R.F. Just as Hollywood loves a film about the movies, so too does New York love a novel about the book business.
