![]() ![]() We invite you to join this vibrant celebration of Yu’s groundbreaking novel! This event, co-presented by the National Asian American Theatre Company, introduces Interior Chinatown and its innovative form with readings performed by accomplished stage and screen actors Fang Du ( Thoroughly Modern Millie national tour) and Sami Ma ( Once Upon A (korean) Time). Since it was first published in January of 2020, we have seen a sharp increase in violence against Asian Americans, bringing new urgency to Yu’s sharp rebuke of America’s persistent prejudices. ![]() We couldn’t be more excited about this year’s Big Read title, Interior Chinatown- Charles Yu’s sharply observed satire about racial stereotyping in Hollywood and escaping the roles we are forced to perform, inventively presented in the form of a screenplay. Since 2008, The Center for Fiction has partnered annually with the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read to create dynamic, community-wide, free programming centered around a single work of literature-inspiring meaningful conversations, artistic responses, and new discoveries and connections. ![]()
