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.

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 * "Highly inventive and hilarious. " (How To Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe) * The Times * "Brimming with alternative universes, futuristic landscapes and gleeful metaphysics. . . . . Yu' s spirit of invention is infectious. " (How To Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe) * The Sunday Times *
