ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu, tells the story of Willis Wu, a Generic Asian Man navigating life within Chinatown and the roles he plays in a procedural cop show called Black and White.

The novel explores themes of identity, assimilation, and the challenges faced by Asian Americans in a society often defined by stereotypes and limited roles. Willis grapples with his aspirations, his relationships, and the desire for belonging in a world that often imposes constraints. He wants to break free of constraints to be seen as an individual, not a stereotype.
