Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant by Curtis Chin

fast-paced

4.25

I really appreciate Curtis sharing his story as a Chinese American gay boy growing up in the Detroit area. This is not a typical memoir, where we usually expect lots of drama (or trauma) and big life events. This is focused on the life of a boy who was trying to figure out who he is while constantly experiencing racism and othering all around him. I loved getting to see how Curtis' perspectives and beliefs changed as he hit different life milestones and experienced the world.
