Titel: Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant
Auteur: Curtis Chin
ISBN: 9780316507653
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

This vivid, moving, funny, and heartfelt memoir tells the story of Curtis Chins time growing up as a gay Chinese American kid in 1980s Detroit (Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers). Nineteen eighties Detroit was a volatile place to live, but above the fray stood a safe haven: Chungs Cantonese Cuisine, where anyonefrom the citys first Black mayor to the local drag queens, from a big-time Hollywood star to elderly Jewish couplescould sit down for a warm, home-cooked meal. Here was where, beneath a bright-red awning and surrounded by his multigenerational family, filmmaker and activist Curtis Chin came of age; where he learned to embrace his identity as a gay ABC, or American-born Chinese; where he navigated the divided citys spiraling misfortunes; and wherebetween helpings of almond boneless chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, and some of his own, less-savory culinary concoctionshe realized just how much he had to offer to the world, to his beloved family, and to himself.

Served up by the cofounder of the Asian American Writers Workshop and structured around the very menu that graced the tables of Chungs, Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant is both a memoir and an invitation: to step inside one boys childhood oasis, scoot into a vinyl booth, and grow up with himand perhaps even share something off the secret menu.
