Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu

Willis Wu doesn’t perceive himself as the protagonist in his own life: he’s merely “Generic Asian Man”. Sometimes he gets to be “Background Oriental Making a Weird Face” or even “Disgraced Son”, but always he is relegated to a prop. Yet every day, he leaves his tiny room in a Chinatown SRO (Single Room Occupancy) and enters the Golden Palace restaurant, where Black and White, a procedural cop show, is in perpetual production. He’s a bit player here, too, but he dreams of being “Kung Fu Guy”—the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. Or is it?
