It is all written in second-person point of view (POV), which is a very interesting (and effective) choice.
This book can’t be discussed without acknowledging the incredible format decisions made by the author: it is a novel, yet it is formatted more like a television script, with some scenes taking place inside a fictional TV show. Interior Chinatown takes place in– you guessed it– Chinatown! The specific American city this Chinatown is in remains ambiguous, which I think serves thematic purposes. Thanks for bearing with me as I work towards finding a review style that works for me! Review This review is shorter as a result, and I don’t feel the need to get into spoilers– it’s a relatively short book, and most of it can be talked about openly without spoiling the plot. As such, the review is formatted differently– for instance, there’s no magic system to talk about, or worldbuilding to analyze.
This book could not be more different from my previous read, Mistborn. This novel is deeply thought provoking, reflective, and challenging while maintaining moments of joy, hope, humor and inspiration. I recently finished reading Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu.
