“China. Man. And yet in that simplicity, in the breadth of its use, it encapsulates so much. This is what you are. Always will be, to me, to us. Not one of us. This other thing.”

Not gonna lie, I was super confused when I started reading this book. Part of it had to do with the fact that I RARELY EVER read the synopsis. I got this book solely based on other reviews #bookstagramMadeMeDoIt.

But. I loved it.

It’s written as a screenplay, and you’re the protagonist (Willis Wu). A Generic Asian Man, hoping to get the lead role – Kung Fu Guy. Kung Fu Guy is the epitome of success.

This book was so creative, funny, and light. But it also underlined, albeit discreetly, important concepts of stereotyping, marginalization (literally his thoughts were in the margins…), and social exclusion.
