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. 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.
讲述故事的方法挺特殊的。语言也不错,表达清晰有力。
评分伪剧本式的结构让人眼前一亮,但是作者过于朴实简单的语句反而透露着忧伤 — 唐人街是多少人来到一个新的国服第一个向往/当作家的地方,然而又有多少人被这个地方给囚禁着。情感冲击很大。好看!

评分四星半 托剧本的形式以戏谑的口吻讲亚裔生活 关于亚裔为何感到自己无法参与主流社会的种族对话写得太直白太精辟了 一下写清楚了最近许多我不知道如何有条理地表达的情绪 "because of all of this you feel on some level that you maybe can't even quite verbalize [...] that the validity and volume of your complaints must be calibrated appropriately" 总被书中的家庭场景打动 情感冲击高于预期的阅读体验!
