A lite read. Sometimes hard to follow, though such is also part of Yu's charm in blending together many concepts. His craft pulls at heartstrings, a bitter salt rubbed into the wound at others. Interior Chinatown touches on issues largely known in the Asian American activist community but still barely discussed out of it, ending with the momentum of historical fact. The unique concept of the book draws in an audience to this dialogue unlike a formal academic textbook or a garage printed zine.
