One of the best details that gave it extra points is that it's about the same time reading as it would be for an actual script for a regular feature length film. 5 stars for the audiobook. Of the few audiobooks I've listened to, they're produced very dry, just a persom reading to you, but this one has sounds effects and little fun details that make the already vibrant story really come alive.

its comedy is rooted in its easily recognized dark truth. i also like how yu delves into not only the historical aspect of said marginalization and discrimination, but also the issue's complexity - and conplex relationship - in relation to anti-black racism, though the book's structure does make my head spin at times.
this novel indeed - to paraphrase its main character - says all the shit that asians never say, didnt even know how to say.
