A young (American) women growing up in the aftermath of the Russian revolution to become a spy/agent for the soviet secret service with some historical figures appearing on her way. Nice read, but nothing exciting. I might have had too high expectations for a Neal Stephenson novel....

The old man waited. Rain. Years. The colonel waited. Rain. No bananas. The women wept. The ghost. The beauty. The solitude. Love and death. All mixed up. Like the river. Muddy.
That's it.

Yellow Face is a reflection of our society today and of its contradictions. Kuang takes a thought-provoking critical look at the entire literary industry and the effects of racism, privilege, and cultural appropriation. Its gripping plot makes the book a compelling read that you can hardly put down.
