Every day he leaves his tiny room in a Chinatown SRO and enters the Golden Palace restaurant where Black and White a procedural cop show is in perpetual production. He's a bit player here too. . . but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy—the highest aspiration he can imagine for a Chinatown denizen. Or is it?After stumbling into the spotlight Willis finds himself launched into a wider world than he's ever known discovering not only the secret history of Chinatown but the buried legacy of his own family and what that means for him in today's America.Playful but heartfelt a send-up of Hollywood tropes and Asian stereotypes—Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu's most moving daring and masterful novel yet.(less)
