"Yellowface" by R.F. Kuang: Review by Trinity Nirenberg

Abstract

Jealousy is one of those things that we all encounter during our lives. Jealousy happens at different levels to each person, of course, but everyone has a basic understanding of it as a concept: how this penetrative emotion makes us feel, guides our decision-making, and alters our view of the world. Envy is something we must filter, and the level to which we do sets us apart from those around us.
