Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir by Eddie Huang

4.0

It may seem contradictory to say I want people to preserve their culture and then reject certain things, like the model minority expectations a-la-carte, but there's a fine distinction to be made between sterotypes and culture. In my Chinese-America I don't care if you have high SAT scores or use chopsticks, all I want to know is if you are aware of shared problems and issues due to our skin, eyes, and country of origin.

I enjoyed listening to the audiobook read by the author, especially when Eddie would laugh at his own stories. Sharing his memories along with the food he loves makes you feel at home.
