Interior Chinatown
A Novel (Vintage Contemporaries)
Charles Yu
A funny and ambitious satire about race, pop culture, immigration, and assimilation, this deeply personal novel follows Willis Wu, a bit player in a procedural cop show. Wishing to be more than "Generic Asian Man," Wu dreams of being Kung Fu Guy, the most respected role for someone who looks like him. After stumbling into the spotlight, he uncovers the secret history of Chinatown and his own family. Infinitely inventive and exploring themes of pop culture, assimilation, and immigration, Interior Chinatown is a masterpiece that you won't be able to put down.#

Only 40 pages in but this book is so effing good, if you need a read that’s funny and perceptive but willing to make hard observations with a light comedic touch – source
