Our author of the month: Rebecca F. Kuang, better known as R.F. Kuang, is a Chinese-American author best known for her critically acclaimed "The Poppy War" trilogy.

In 2022 she released new book: Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History.

Babel is a 2022 novel by R. F. Kuang. It debuted at the first spot on The New York Times Best Seller list and won Blackwell's Books of the Year for Fiction in 2022 and the 2022 Nebula Award for Best Novel.

And she has new book that war released in May 16, 2023: Yellowface.

What is that book all about? Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena's a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn't even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.

So when June witnesses Athena's death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.
