How to American: An Immigrant's Guide to… di Jimmy O. Yang
This is a humorous look at Jimmy's life as an immigrant from Hong Kong to LA. Even though his lived experiences to date have been very different from mine, he tells his story in a very relatable way.
This book was enjoyable until the last quarter when Jimmy started getting into a victimization narrative. It was laugh out loud funny. Jimmy down mahouts into a sob story that some fans and non fans did not know he spoke English or that he would be ‘Karate kid’ and other such derision. Some people are dumb and say dumb things. It’s pretty narcissistic to complain in an autobiography pages after describing how you’ve achieved all your dreams.
Oh and “The Asian culture?”
That is said in this book. There is one Asian culture. It is represented by a guy from LA via Hong Kong. Don’t tell the Koreans and Japanese and Indians I know.
I was wrong to expect more from the “ I eat the fish” catchphrase actor.… (altro)
Audio. The introduction from Mike Judge is, frankly, boring and there are some repetitive passages and places where it feels too earnest, but it's generally enjoyable.
