A National Book Award winner, Charles Yu has written a screenplay about a television show that is shown from the point of view of a minor character played by Willis Wu. That sounds confusing...and it is if you think about it. Best not to think and just start reading. It all makes sense in a way that will amaze you as you go along. Why are Asians often not seen as American? How do you go from the guy playing the Generic Asian Guy dead body on a show to Kung Fu Guy? Is that what you should aspire to? Isn't that what every Asian guy wants?
The audio version is terrific. FYI - the narrator has appeared in 52 episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
