Interior Chinatown
Ratings143
Average rating3.9
I didn't expect the screenplay layout going into this book, but it kind of fits with the message the author is putting across. The main character and other people in INT. CHINATOWN are just playing roles typecast by society which they have then stuck by, not realising that they can be more than that.
Despite almost 200 years since setting foot on America, Asians are still segregated by that phrase - ‘Asian'. It's interesting to consider the truth that when you are asked to describe an American, it is a generalised white person.
A book that everyone should read, despite it's odd format. Understandably, it won't be for everyone but it hit home with me due to my own background and race.
“Who gets to be an American? What does an American look like?”
