Description
Willis Wu's life is a series of roles he's been told to play: Generic Asian Man, Background Oriental, Disgraced Son. But in the Golden Palace restaurant, where a procedural cop show is in production, he's just another bit player. Yet he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy, the most respected role he can attain. His mother's words echo in his mind: Be more.
As he navigates the complexities of his own identity, Willis finds himself caught between the expectations of others and his own desires. A poignant exploration of identity, family, and the search for meaning, Interior Chinatown is a powerful and moving novel about the human need to be seen and understood.
