Özet
 2020 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER

"One of the funniest books of the year ... a delicious, ambitious Hollywood satire." —The Washington Post

From the infinitely inventive author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe comes a deeply personal novel about race, pop culture, immigration, assimilation, and escaping the roles we are forced to play.

Willis Wu doesn’t perceive himself as a protagonist even in his own life: He’s merely Generic Asian man. Sometimes he gets to be Background Oriental Making a Weird Face or even Disgraced Son, but he is always relegated to a prop. Yet 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 most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. At least that’s what he has been told, time and time again. Except by one person, his mother. Who says to him: Be more.

Playful but heartfelt, a send-up of Hollywood tropes and Asian stereotypes, Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu’s most moving, daring, and masterly novel yet.

"Fresh and beautiful ... Interior Chinatown represents yet another stellar destination in the journey of a sui generis author of seemingly limitless skill and ambition.” —The New York Times Book Review Family Life Genre Fiction Kurgu Literary Fiction United States World Literature Çin Esprili Samimi China Town

Great book. Really clever. Made me laugh out loud but was serious and political at the same time. So original. I enjoyed it very much,

This is a complex book with a very interesting structure. It's fun, informative, and heartbreaking.

Fantastic book and narration!

One moment you’re chuckling, the next the author kicks your nuts with the harsh realities of racism and being an immigrant in the US. Not a fan of the script format so I’m curious if this translates well on TV. Yes, there is a TV adaptation.

A hilarious take on racism

I'm a big fan of films and thought that the screenplay-like title/strui might offer something interesting and novel. It doesn't. This was neither funny nor insightful enough to make it recommendable. There isn't really a story. Instead, it's an abstraction of someone's life trying to make it as an actor mixed with some personal stuff that isn't deep enough to make you care.
