Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir
by Eddie Huang
What an asshole. Eddie Huang tells the story of growing up second-generation Chinese-American in New York and Orlando, how he fell into/created a persona of street-thug life, then sorta redeemed himself with a law degree, a streetware company, and a highly popular Lower East Side restaurant. All the while being vulgar, occasionally violent, often brazenly law-breaking, and frequently short-sighted. This guy is the last person anyone should look up to, despite his success. But he writes very well and has some real insights about urban life and being a child of immigrants. So highly recommended anyway.
