Reviews
"Brilliantly unexpected and inventive, Interior Chinatown upended all the things I was sure I knew about the insidious power of stereotypes and left me feeling a little more hopeful for our collective future. Charles Yu's writing is TRANSFORMATIVE." --Jade Chang, author of The Wangs vs. the World "Most books are lucky to be either clever or deep, but Charles Yu's new novel is both, and makes it look easy. Interior Chinatown is essential reading for anyone who's obsessed with pop culture, identity, and all the ways that we're all playing roles, all the time." --Charlie Jane Anders, author of The City in the Middle of the Night "I devoured this novel. Yu masterfully orchestrates a heartbreaking and hilarious tale of race in America through the lens of the HOLLYWOOD ACTION MOVIE(tm). It's an examination of how popcorn-flick pop culture shapes our understanding of each other, and tragically, our own self-definition as Americans and as human beings." --Daniel H. Wilson, author of The Clockwork Dynasty, "I''m a big fan of Charles Yu''s writing because of his wit and inventiveness. These talents are front and center in the brilliant and hilarious Interior Chinatown , which satirizes the racist imagination and brings us deep into the humanity of those who suffer from--and struggle against--dehumanization." --Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer "Conflates history, sociology, and ethnography with the timeless evils of racism, sexism, and elitism in a multigenerational epic that''s both rollicking entertainment and scathing commentary. . . . Ingeniously draws on real-life Hollywood. . . . [The book''s] sobering reality will resonate with savvy readers." --Terry Hong, Booklist (starred review) "Brilliantly unexpected and inventive, Interior Chinatown upended all the things I was sure I knew about the insidious power of stereotypes and left me feeling a little more hopeful for our collective future. Charles Yu''s writing is TRANSFORMATIVE." --Jade Chang, author of The Wangs vs. the World "Inspired . . . [an] inventive drama about an Asian actor who dreams of becoming a star. . . . In spare but moving prose, [Yu] describes life among Asian Americans living as so-called foreigners [and] examines the history of bigotry against immigrants in the West for centuries. . . . An acid indictment of Asian stereotypes and a parable for outcasts feeling invisible in this fast-moving world." -- Kirkus Reviews "I have long admired Charles Yu''s daring and original fiction, and Interior Chinatown not only met my expectations--it exceeded them. I can''t recall the last time I read a novel this inventive and surprising, and which wrestled with serious issues in such a playful manner. Yu is not afraid to take risks, and he somehow, magically--beautifully--makes those risks accessible. This book is smart and fun, comedic and sincere, thought provoking and impossible to put down. Yu is one of the most exciting writers telling stories today." --Edan Lepucki, author of Woman No. 17 "This is a hilarious book. You''ll laugh at the universe Charles Yu creates, kitty-corner to our own and just so off-kilter - and then, without warning, you''ll be pulled under by the riptide and everything will suddenly make beautiful, perfect, heartbreaking, unexplainable sense. In Interior Chinatown , Yu builds a world out of clichés and stereotypes, then finds a tiny hole in the back and slowly fills it with life and history and nuance and anguish and joy and desire and grief. There is no writer with a greater talent for taking the flattening indignities of life and exploding them into vibrant, poignant mythology." --Raphael Bob-Waksberg, creator of BoJack Horseman and author of Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory "Most books are lucky to be either clever or deep, but Charles Yu''s new novel is both, and makes it look easy. Interior Chinatown is essential reading for anyone who''s obsessed with pop culture, identity, and all the ways that we''re all playing roles, all the time." --Charlie Jane Anders, author of The City in the Middle of the Night " Interior Chinatown is a fascinating novel, hilarious and melancholy, a clever depiction of Hollywood dreaming itself and a sharp critique of the nature of those dreams. If it''s said that one of the reasons we watch films and television is out of a wish to ''see ourselves,'' Yu adeptly raises the question of whether what we''re shown in response to that wish can ever be what we truly are." --Dexter Palmer, author of Mary Toft "I devoured this novel. Yu masterfully orchestrates a heartbreaking and hilarious tale of race in America through the lens of the HOLLYWOOD ACTION MOVIE(tm). It''s an examination of how popcorn-flick pop culture shapes our understanding of each other, and tragically, our own self-definition as Americans and as human beings." --Daniel H. Wilson, author of The Clockwork Dynasty, "Most books are lucky to be either clever or deep, but Charles Yu's new novel is both, and makes it look easy. Interior Chinatown is essential reading for anyone who's obsessed with pop culture, identity, and all the ways that we're all playing roles, all the time." --Charlie Jane Anders, author of The City in the Middle of the Night "I devoured this novel.
