Table of ContentsReviews"Coming out and coming of age are hard enough for the average teen, but when they're in a Chinese American family, in a city in conflict with itself, it becomes an epic journey of self-discovery. As a kid who also ran around in the back of a Chinese restaurant, this book is literary comfort food, so delicious and good for the soul. Curtis Chin's story of coming of age and coming out is endearing and unforgettable.-- ""Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of The Many Daughters of Afong May"" Curtis Chin's movable feast of a memoir dishes out everything you might want in a literary meal--savory reflections of our recent history, the sour-sweet tang of adolescent nostalgia, a little sauce, a lot of heart--and yes, plenty of hot tea. The real magic is in how a book that's so fulfilling still leaves you hungry for more.-- ""Jeff Yang, New York Times bestselling author of The Golden Screen and Rise: A Pop History of Asian America from the 90s to Now"" The work Curtis Chin has done as a writer and organizer made so much of this current moment possible--a memoir from him is a cause for celebration.-- ""Alexander Chee, bestselling author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel"" Vivid, moving, funny, and heartfelt, Curtis Chin's memoir showcases his talents as an activist and a storyteller. This is one man's story of growing up gay, Chinese American, and working class in 1980s Detroit, finding a place in a large and loving immigrant family and in a changing city--and in doing so, carving out a place in the world for himself.-- ""Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers""" Author InformationA cofounder of the Asian American Writers' Workshop in New York City, Curtis Chin served as the nonprofit's first executive director.
