Ching Chong Chinaman

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of American culture, the story follows Desdemona, who aspires to attend Princeton, and her brother Upton, a World of Warcraft enthusiast seeking more time to pursue his passion. Their lives take a turn when Upton brings home an indentured servant, "Ching Chong," who has his own aspirations. This irreverent comedy by Lauren Yee cleverly critiques stereotypes surrounding Asian American identity, blending humor with poignant reflections on dreams and cultural expectations.
