Taipei Story (Deluxe Limited Edition) A Novel

"Quiet, moving and thought-provoking, Taipei Story is an examination of how the stories we inherit shape who we are. It will speak to anyone who set out to learn how to belong, only to discover that they first needed to answer the question "Who am I?" - Bookpage

"Hard to put down, harder to forget." - Stephen King on Yellowface

"Viciously satisfying...addictive." - New York Times Book Review on Yellowface

"As ever, Kuang raises uncomfortable questions about history, ethnicity, and identity and leaves it for readers to determine whether Lily has come to the right conclusions and how much growing up she still has left to do. A visceral exploration of language as a bridge and a barrier." - Kirkus Reviews

"Reading Yellowface felt like being inside a wild, brutal, psychological knife fight with a deranged clown. A merciless satire that left me screaming inside... from both its horror and humor." - Constance Wu, star of Crazy Rich Asians and author of Making a Scene

"Rich with allusion and illusion, Kuang crafts a witty, gory, harrowing ride that thoroughly roasts the perils and power structures of academia, while never losing sight of what it means to have a fragile, human heart." - #1 New York Times bestselling author, Leigh Bardugo on Katabasis

"'Katabasis' shines with devastatingly real characters and absorbing world building." - New York Times

"A spellbinding and poignant story that had me riveted to the pages, R.F. Kuang's Katabasis is more than a novel to savor. This book is an experience. I envy those who get to read it for the first time." - Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

"Her magnificent novel uses satire to shine a light on systemic racial discrimination and the truth that often hides behind the twisted narratives constructed by those in power." - Booklist (starred review) of Yellowface
