INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK - EXCERPT TO NEW NOVEL KATABASIS! "Hard to put down, harder to forget." -- Stephen King White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences... Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she claims to be. In this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel, June Hayward and Athena Liu were meant to be twin rising stars. Athena is a literary darling, while June feels like a nobody. After witnessing Athena's tragic death, June impulsively steals her completed manuscript, an experimental novel highlighting the contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. June edits and submits the novel as her own, rebranding herself as Juniper Song with an ambiguously ethnic author photo. She believes this important story deserves to be told, regardless of the teller. The New York Times bestseller list seems to agree, but as evidence mounts against her, June finds it increasingly difficult to escape Athena's shadow. As she races to protect her secret, June confronts how far she will go to claim what she thinks she deserves. With an immersive first-person voice, this novel explores themes of diversity, racism, cultural appropriation, and the alienation of social media, making it timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.
