Curtis Chin: Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant

We're delighted to be joined by author Curtis Chin to talk about his hugely popular memoir, Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant.

This humour-filled memoir tells his story about growing up Asian in Detroit and coming out to his working class immigrant family, all set against the Reagan Revolution of the 1980s, AIDS, and his family's popular Chinese restaurant. The book has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Time Magazine, as well as CBS Saturday Morning News and NBC News. It's also been honoured by the State of Michigan and the American Library Association.

If you'd like to find out more, you can watch a segment about Curtis and his book that aired on PBS Newshour.

And Curtis will also be the featured author on our website, so keep an eye out for more!
