Charles Yu is the author of the critically-acclaimed, genre-bending "Interior Chinatown," a National Book Award winner that explores the confining stereotypes of Asian Americans in Hollywood and in American culture. A television screenwriter (HBO’s "Westworld") and the author of three other books — including "How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe," named one of the best books of the year by "Time" magazine — Yu delivers an entertaining and thought-provoking onstage interview, discussing the Asian American experience, representation and stereotypes in film and television, and the unique power of science fiction to address the human condition.
Hailed for his sharp wit and incisive social commentary, Yu’s work is as inventive as it is moving. In his entertaining and thought-provoking lectures, Yu speaks to audiences of all kinds about the Asian American experience, representation and stereotypes in film and television, and the unique power of science fiction to address the human condition.
