Interior Chinatown
By Charles Yu
In Interior Chinatown,Willis Wu doesn't view himself as much of a central figure– even in his own life.Instead, he perceives himself as a vaguely defined "Generic Asian Man."More specifically, he's a bit part on a procedural cop show, although a part of him aspires to rise to better roles.
Charles Yu's latest book delves into themes of race, pop culture, immigration,and assimilation with a fresh and personal flair.Playful but heartfelt,Interior Chinatown cleverly pushes back against Hollywood tropes and Asian stereotypes—and won the 2020 National Book Award for Fiction.
