Yellowface by R.F. Kuang

Settle in for a lively literary night as the Milwood Monday Night Book Club dives into Yellowface by R.F. Kuang. This month’s pick blends dark humor, sharp social commentary, and page-turning drama—perfect for readers who love dissecting big ideas as much as they love a good plot twist.

Whether you devoured the book the moment you picked it up or you’re racing to finish the last few chapters, you’re welcome at the discussion. The conversation will touch on questions of authorship, identity, and who gets to tell which stories, so expect thoughtful dialogue, differing perspectives, and plenty of “wait, did you catch that part?” moments.

• Open to everyone: This book club isn’t just for seasoned literature buffs. Curious readers, casual book lovers, and first-time book club attendees are all invited to join.

• Walk-ins welcome: Tickets are limited but not required, so you can decide to join even at the last minute.

• Optional email reminder: If you like a nudge before events, you can register through Eventbrite or contact the organizer by email for a reminder before the meetup.

• Community-focused vibe: Expect a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where everyone gets a chance to share their thoughts—or just listen in if that’s more your style.

If Yellowface is sitting on your to-be-read pile, this meetup is the perfect excuse to finally crack it open. And if you’ve already finished it and are dying to talk about that ending, you’ll be in excellent company.

Bring your copy, your questions, your hot takes, and maybe a friend who loves a good, thought-provoking novel. It’s an hour dedicated to story, community, and conversation—no pressure, just good bookish fun.
