Interior Chinatown

More about the book

Willis Wu navigates life feeling like a mere background character, often typecast in stereotypical roles. Living in a Chinatown SRO, he works at the Golden Palace restaurant, the set of a never-ending cop show. His aspirations revolve around becoming Kung Fu Guy, the pinnacle of respect for someone like him. However, his mother's encouragement to "be more" challenges the limitations imposed by society, pushing him to seek a deeper identity beyond the roles assigned to him.
