A groundbreaking book that gives hope in the fight against mass shootings.

His book on all of this, Trigger Points, came out last week. Especially if you have influence over schoo/workplace policies, highly recommend. We can *prevent* a lot of tragedy long before a potential shooter enters a school or office or movie theater.      источник

Рейтинг Goodreads
A funny and ambitious satire about race, pop culture, immigration, and assimilation, this deeply personal novel follows Willis Wu, a bit player in a procedural cop show. Wishing to be more than "Generic Asian Man," Wu dreams of being Kung Fu Guy, the most respected role for someone who looks like him. After stumbling into the spotlight, he uncovers the secret history of Chinatown and his own family. Infinitely inventive and exploring themes of pop culture, assimilation, and immigration, Interior Chinatown is a masterpiece that you won't be able to put down.#
