5.0
So sharp and innovative, Yu's commentary -- about identity, representation, "likeness" -- matched expertly to the quasi screenplay form. The Kung-Fu Dad chapter is worthy of a review of its own, as is the powerful monologue at the end. One to grab, read, and ponder; I'll be thinking about this one for quite a while.
Graphic: Racism
Moderate: Xenophobia
Minor: Racial slurs
