Description
A National Book Award Winner, this novel explores themes of racial stereotyping, pop culture, immigration, and assimilation through the story of Willis Wu. Willis Wu's life is marked by his perception as "Generic Asian Man", relegated to playing various roles that do not truly represent him. However, when he stumbles into the spotlight, he finds himself launched into a wider world than he has ever known. As he navigates this new reality, Willis discovers the secret history of Chinatown and uncovers the buried legacy of his own family. This deeply personal novel is infinitely inventive and masterful, making it a compelling read for those interested in exploring these themes.
