I loved reading every bit of this book. Rarely do I find a book that makes so invested. Her writing was so haunting and I kept flipping back to Kuang’s portrait trying to find more meaning

She’s so articulate! I loved yellowface. Great interview

Great interview. I'm always amazed by the creative process.

Enjoyed this book! Great interview and I did like how she incorporated so much of the Internets presence in it while still using some well known tropes, part of it made me think of Poe's The Telltale Heart

First book I’ve read from Kuang and was blown away

I liked june discussing the simulacrum in china town restaurant with the owner. I hope i could have had such an experience too. ❤

Yellowface is part of Amnesty book club reads this year. It's the only book I've enjoyed so far. The other books are styles I have preferred writers when read. Yellowface was an enjoyable read about publishing world, social media attacks, and question about able to write about other race POV. Glad to've come across this. Strombo you always have great interviews!

Read this over seeing 3 body problem. First book by Chinese American. Did not read wild Swans. I liked the visit to China Town in book and Chinese restaurant by une. ❤

This simulacram experience happened to me too. Once I used the word individuation to an HR (Able to form judgement on close circle of people like parents as an adult. Book suggested by a psychiatrist). She got surprised. How do you know that? She asked.

As a mostly academic writer myself got the thrill when it appears in a big journal or gets cited. Got rejects also. My narrated literary book is on Amazon. Publishing agencies offered everything from 20$ to 5000$. The top end has newspaper inserts, KZread videos and author interviews and book signing and paper runs also. My co-author called it Vanity Spending. Guess that book was like Sycamore book of the author. I liked the line that everyone can agree on a book and then it would become a great book.

Goodreads does not disappoint. Hope it does not go away like Twitter

Athena Liu looked imposing. ❤only novel for this year along with analog virtual by Lavanya

During the 2000 to 2006 space many people agreed on Harry Potter. I did not know it was high art. Maybe that is why it got famous. I saw the movie also.

I can see her as an Indian from 7 sisters like Manipur or Assam and how they look in the tourist books (from where the stereotype comes). I would have been happy if she said Asian American as in my experience the Chinese and Indian used to hang together in America

We did hire a British -Indian girl to review our book and she gave good feedback sort of like the sensitivity reader. She accepted the draft. So one person not associated with the book read it.

I once landed up presenting my invited innovation in software paper to an audience of 500. After I presented some senior folks in manufacturing got up saying whether manufacturing is more innovative. Not to cause a conflict and also a lack of knowledge of manufacturing I said yes and got away. Later I read books like The Goal and maybe all these single piece flow and left shift in software and all is like manufacturing. The audience was clearly very non software. That manufacturing guy who questioned me started to say something like SAP or something (sometimes they say Mainframe also) and I nodded. Made me seem like that Juniper Song with the book reading for Chinese people.

Certainly, during the early 2000s, the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling was the most popular fiction book series worldwide, enjoying immense success and widespread readership. ChatGPT verified It even gets a reference in Big Bang Theory mostly based out of America and comic books.

Yeah. I was only able to write about books about things I knew. But nowadays I cam create scenarios and write.

Suggestion : Write about 7 sister states in India.

Top !!!

There isn't a strict maximum number of authors for a Nature paper, as it depends on the nature of the research and the collaborative efforts involved. However, it's not unusual to see papers with several hundred authors, particularly in fields such as high-energy physics, genomics, or large-scale collaborative projects where numerous researchers contribute to the work. --- From practice. You work in a lab for a few months and you get included.😅

I have watched Danny Boyle Slumdog millionaire which got an Oscar and two british English kids by accent playing slum children. It was criticised by many right wing Indian groups as Poverty Porn for west.

Most academic papers go through double blind peer review. So none of the authorship problems. I guess she could have used that logic for her book.

There are some papers in Nature with 200 authors

The English is very straightforward. Not very ornate or forced or aspirational.

I have done some work not unlike the protagonist. I am an expert to getting research into a proper shape and tell a story. I did it for two papers and they included me as a co-author much to my amusement and requests not to do the same 😅😅😅

I heard people identify as Asian American. There is now Chinese-American.

You will not find anything earth shaking in ramayana and Mahabharata in india. Indians agree they are great books. That is all. It is just cultural. Nothing intrinsic.

*promosm*

Dang these views stink

Oops

In a tamil film they got a non native speaker and made her dance to a completely made up tamil song (nonsense words) and did not tell her it was not tamil. She lip synched and danced ignorant. Then they told the prank. I guess the author of yellowface brings it out. You can enjoy the nonsense song and unaware heroine. All in good faith. I cannot understand how somebody can be so brave as the protagonist to face a native audience. Enjoy the song. Totally nonsense. --- kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZH6m1NJmeKjUXcY.htmlsi=OT83r_H2rlqDneVc
