The Poppy War, a grimdark fantasy, draws its plot and politics from mid-20th-century China, [21] [22] [23] with the conflict in the novel based on the Second Sino-Japanese War, and an atmosphere inspired by the Song dynasty. [24] The Poppy War was nominated for the 2019 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel. [25]

The Dragon Republic

Released in 2019, The Dragon Republic is the sequel to The Poppy War. [26] The Nikan Empire begins to fall apart due to infighting and the Hesperians return. The reviewer for Fantasy Book Review wrote, "Kuang excels at wreaking emotional havoc while delivering a powerful meditation on war and survival." [27] Publishers Weekly said that "Kuang brings brilliance to this invigorating and complex military fantasy sequel to The Poppy War." [28]

The Burning God

Released in 2020, The Burning God is the sequel to The Dragon Republic and the conclusion to the Poppy Wars series. Rin fights the forces that have torn her country apart into a civil war. A reviewer for The Fantasy Hive wrote, "Rebecca Kuang's conclusion to her debut trilogy, The Poppy War, is testament to her growth as a writer; not only is it a fitting close to an ambitious series." [29] The reviewer for Publishers Weekly said that "[t]he result is a satisfying if not happy end to the series." [30]

Babel

In May 2021, Kuang announced the August 2022 release of her fourth novel, Babel, or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution, by Harper Voyager. Babel is set in 1830s England. [31] [32] In the second week of September 2022, Babel debuted at the top spot on The New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover fiction, [33] but dropped to the ninth spot the following week [34] before disappearing from the list by the end of the month. [35] Kuang's Babel was excluded from consideration for the 2023 Hugo Award along with Chinese Canadian author Xiran Jay Zhao's Iron Widow. The awards ceremony that year was held in Chengdu, China, and leaked emails later revealed that an administrator had recommended that books whose content might prove controversial in China be excluded from the list of nominees. [36]

Yellowface

In October 2021, Kuang announced that her fifth novel, Yellowface , would be published in 2023. [37] Publisher William Morrow and Company stated in a press release that Yellowface follows "a white author who steals an unpublished manuscript, written by a more successful Asian American novelist who died in a freak accident, and publishes it as her own". [38] The title of the novel, Yellowface, refers to the film industry practice of yellowface, in which white actors are used to portray Asian characters, analogously to blackface, in which white actors use makeup to portray black or African characters. This book is Kuang's first foray into the literary fiction genre. Writing in the "Acknowledgement" section of the book, Kuang considers her book a "horror story about loneliness in a fiercely competitive industry." [39]

In the last week of May 2023, Yellowface debuted at the eighth spot on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list for hardcover fiction. [40] In the first week of June 2023, Yellowface debuted at the fifth spot on The New York Times Best Seller list for hardcover fiction. [41] The reviewer for NPR called the book "a well-executed, gripping, fast-paced novel about the nuances of the publishing world when an author is desperate enough to do anything for success." [42] Writing for the New York Times, award-winning author Amal El-Mohtar wrote that the novel is "a breezy and propulsive read, a satirical literary thriller that's enjoyable and uncomfortable in equal measure." [43]

Katabasis

In February 2023, Kuang reported that while working on her doctoral degree at Yale, she is also working on her sixth novel, a fantasy about two magical PhD students as they travel to Hell "to rescue the soul of their advisers so that they can write their job recommendation letters". [44] In an interview with The Guardian , Kuang calls the project "nonsense literature". [45] During a November 2023 book promotion tour at the Brattle Theatre near Harvard University, Kuang describe her writing her upcoming book that "... it started as this cute, silly adventure novel about like, 'Haha, academia is hell.' And then I was writing it and I was like, 'Oh, no, academia is hell.'" [46]

Future titles

In April 2023, she also announced that two additional books had been acquired by HarperCollins, a "historical novel and a fantasy," neither of which are Katabasis. [47]

Awards and honors

In 2018, Barnes & Noble included The Poppy War on their list of Favorite Science Fiction & Fantasy Books of 2018. [48]

In 2022, Kirkus Reviews [49] and The Washington Post [50] named Babel, or the Necessity of Violence one of the best science fiction and fantasy books of the year. Amazon, [51] NPR, [52] and Barnes & Noble [53] named it one of the best books of the year, regardless of genre.

In 2023, Kuang made the Time 100 Next list. [54]
