Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu

3.0

This book definitely grew on me as I read it, but I got through it feeling kind of...dumb? Like I was missing something. It's the same issue I have with poetry. I don't seem to deal well with abstract concepts. Nevertheless, I loved the creativity of this book's structure, the script-style layout that definitely won't agree with everyone. My two worlds were crossing over. It was incredibly heartfelt and emotional in some moments, then funny and dry in the next. To balance such opposing emotions is a real skill. I think this one will stay with me for a while.
