Description

A darkly comic and deeply personal novel about racial stereotyping in Hollywood and the search for identity. Willis Wu's life is defined by his roles: Generic Asian Man, Background Oriental Making a Weird Face, or Disgraced Son. But when he stumbles into the spotlight, he finds himself launched into a wider world than he's ever known. As he navigates this new reality, Willis discovers not only the secret history of Chinatown but also the buried legacy of his own family. Infinitely inventive and deeply personal, Interior Chinatown explores the themes of pop culture, assimilation, and immigration in a moving and masterful way. This novel is a powerful exploration of identity, community, and the search for meaning in a world that often seeks to define us by our roles rather than who we are.
