Interior Chinatown by Charles YuMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This novel fits right into the online discussions lately about the lack of diversity at award events like the Oscars, Grammys and Emmys. Lots of allegory going on (almost too much for me) as the Asian American actor dreams of making it to the top of the dream roles for Asian actors--the Kung Fu guy who doesn't get killed off at the end of the scene (like what always happens in the cop show Black & White). Whole book is full of parody and satire, but the repetitive theme is the glass ceiling for Asian male actors.
