It was a role once in the sights of Older Brother who disappeared from Interior Chinatown some time ago, no one seems to know quite where. Willis wants nothing more than to emulate his father’s success. He’s the son of Sifu, the legendary Kung Fu Guy, now in decline. Willis plays a Generic Asian Man of one sort or another, as do all his friends, sentenced to forty-five days with no work after every screen death. Willis lives in a single room occupancy building in Interior Chinatown above the Golden Palace Restaurant, the set of Black and White, the procedural cop show featuring Miles Turner, handsome, buff and black, and Sarah Green, pretty, sexy and smart, whose smouldering relationship never seems to be consummated.
But maybe, just maybe, tomorrow will be the day Interior Chinatown follows Willis Wu who finally realises he’s been chasing the wrong prize all along.Įver since you were a boy, you’ve dreamt of being King Fu Guy. His new novel sounded intriguing with its premise of a bit-part actor in a perpetual TV series, eyes set on a bigger role which seems forever to slip from his grasp. I’ve had Charles Yu’s How to Life Safely in a Science Fictional Universe on my TBR list for quite some time but, as with so many books, never got around to buying it let alone reading it.
