chadstep's review against another edition
4.0
Such a mix of emotions about this one—tellingly abrasive, true to memoir. It took me a while to pace into the patchwork style but the reveal was worth the wait. I can’t tell who this is for, which audience exactly, but that’s probably because I didn’t grow up as a Chinese-American boy and don’t know any readers with that background. It feels like a mix of Toni Morrison, Andrew Lam, and Harper Lee? I’m hoping to read his other pieces. Great insights into his cultural heritage growing up the child of immigrants in SF but dark and not for the feint of heart.
