The Stacks Book Club - March 2024

Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu

National Book Award Winner. New York Times Bestseller. And now, The Stacks Book Club pick. Honestly, what can’t Charles Yu’s novel Interior Chinatown?

The book follows Willis Wu, a generic background actor in his own life, as he's flung into stardom and adventure by a sudden spotlight. When one of his daily visits to the Golden Palace restaurant turns into a big production, Willis is called to action and sent down a rabbit hole of buried potential, history and family legacy. The darkly hilarious and deeply personal story touches on race, assimilation and culture, examining how we reckon with all the roles we are assigned to play.

We will discuss Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu on The Stacks on Wednesday, March 27th.
