With his dream of hitting it big in the film industry, Willis has been taking on bit parts in various television series. Years later, Willis and his parents find themselves living in small one-room apartments in Chinatown, just above the Golden Palace restaurant. Willis Wu was born to a pair of immigrant parents who fled their home country of Taiwan. However, it is not the story of a place but rather the story of an individual with a burning desire to climb the zenith of success. Interior Chinatown transports the readers to a fictional Chinatown somewhere in Southern California. In 2020, a decade after his first novel, Yu made a long-awaited literary comeback with his second novel, Interior Chinatown. When he published his debut novel in 2010, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, he has already established his mettle as a writer. His short stories, published by prominent publications, received accolades from literary pundits. The same success was replicated in his career as a fiction writer. For his work in TV, he was nominated twice for Writers Guild of America Awards for his work on the HBO series Westworld. This pivot proved to be crucial for Yu as he started finding success as a writer, both for print and for TV. Slowly, he worked his way up the corporate ladder before finally shifting his energies towards something that he has been suppressing for years. However, before pursuing his career as a full-time writer, he begun in the lowest wrung of the corporate ladder, working as an associate in a law firm. Even during his younger years, Yu exhibited a knack for literature he even minored in creative writing at the University of California, Berkeley. Indeed, many can relate to Charles Yu’s path to finding his own calling.
