The first thing that happens is that you can’t work for forty-five days.” Interior Chinatown\, by Charles Yu. \nThis month’s choice is winner of the National Book Awards Best Fiction 2020. A comedy? Yes\, in an ombre-colored way. (After all\, it satirizes Hollywood typecasting. . . and more.) The protagonist\, Generic Asian Man Wallis Wu\, plays bit-roles in movies but yearns to act full-face\, up-front\, in the limelight. Charles Yu formats his tale in TV-script form\, Courier type\, all in episodes: he wanders on and off screen as Asian Delivery Man in the background of the cop show Black and White\, featuring – what else? – black and white stars\, but no Asians; he ruminates in monologues; and he portrays his Taiwanese family and other second-generation Thai\, Japanese\, Korean\, and Chinese neighbors living above the Golden Palace restaurant. Laugh (wryly) with the Book Chamber on June 15 (3rd Tuesday). \n URL:https://ebellofla.org/event/book-chamber-06-15-2021/ CATEGORIES:Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ebellofla.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/SQUARE-1.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
