“An Evening with Charles Yu”

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.
