chinatown thuan

An unfinished love story, humorous and haunting, of diasporic lives in Vietnam and France. The Metro shudders to a halt: an unattended bag has been found. For the narrator, a Vietnamese woman teaching in the Parisian suburbs, a fantastical interior monologue begins, looking back to her childhood in early ''80s Hanoi, university studies in Leningrad, and the travails and ironies of life in France as an immigrant and single mother. But most of all she thinks of Chinese-Vietnamese Thuy, who she married in the aftermath of the Sino-Vietnamese war, much to her parents'' disapproval, and whom she has not seen now for eleven years. The mystery around his disappearance feeds her memories, dreams and speculations, in which the idea of Saigon''s Chinatown looms large. There''s even a novel-in-progress, titled I''m Yellow, whose protagonist''s attempts to escape his circumstances mirror the author-narrator''s own.

A deeply personal novel about race, pop culture, immigration, assimilation, and escaping the roles we are forced to play.Willis Wu doesn't perceive himself as the protagonist in his own life: he's merely Generic Asian Man. Sometimes he gets to be Background Oriental Making or even Disgraced Son, but always he is relegated to a prop. Yet every day, he leaves his tiny room in Chinatown and enters the Golden Palace restaurant where Black and White, a procedural cop show, is in perpetual production. He's a bit player here, too, but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy-the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. Or is it?After stumbling into the spotlight, Willis finds himself launched into a wider world than he's ever known, discovering not only the secret history of Chinatown, but also the buried legacy of his own family. Infinitely inventive and deeply personal, Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu's most moving, daring, and masterful novel yet.

Directed in 1974 by Roman Polanski from a script by Robert Towne, Chinatown is a brilliant reworking of film noir set in a drought-stricken Los Angeles of the 1930s. Jack Nicholson stars as J. J. Gittes, a private eye who, despite his best intentions, can bring only disaster on Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway), the enigmatic woman he has come to love. Gittes’s investigation into the death of Evelyn’s husband exposes a chaos of political corruption and sexual violence lurking beneath a glittering, sun-bleached surface.Michael Eaton’s compelling study situates Chinatown in relation to a history of fictional detectives, from Sophocles to Edgar Allan Poe and Alfred Hitchcock. In an absorbing account of the film’s narrative development and visual style, he traces Chinatown’s relationship to the pessimism of American cinema (and, by extension, the wider culture) in the mid-1970s, and the source of the film’s narrative and visual impact.In his afterword to this new edition, Eaton considers Chinatown’s 1990 sequel The Two Jakes and also the movie’s changing fortunes in the years since its release.
