Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant
by Curtis Chin
Descriptions
This ?vivid, moving, funny, and heartfelt? memoir tells the story of Curtis Chin?s time growing up as a gay Chinese American kid in 1980?s Detroit (Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers ). Nineteen eighties Detroit was a volatile place to live, but above the fray stood a safe Chung?s Cantonese Cuisine, where anyone?from the city?s first Black mayor to the local drag queens, from a big-time Hollywood star to elderly Jewish couples?could sit down for a warm, home-cooked meal. Here was where, beneath a bright-red awning and surrounded by his multigenerational family, filmmaker and activist Curtis Chin came of age; where he learned to embrace his identity as a gay ABC, or American-born Chinese; where he navigated the divided city?s spiraling misfortunes; and where?between helpings of almond boneless chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, and some of his own, less-savory culinary concoctions?he realized just how much he had to offer to the world, to his beloved family, and to himself.Served up by the
