How to American: An Immigrant's Guide to Disappointing Your Parents
Jimmy O. Yang, stand-up comic and actor (Silicon Valley, Crazy Rich Asians, and Interior Chinatown) presents How to American, a memoir centered around his experiences growing up as a Chinese immigrant in California and making it in Hollywood against the wishes of his parents.
Chock-full of hilarious stories that also share a number of hard-earned lessons, How to American is a coming-of-age journey that mocks common stereotypes while offering tongue-in-cheek advice on pursuing the American dream of fame and fortune.
"As the political debate over immigration policy roars on under the Trump administration, Yang says his book attempts to 'humanize' the immigrant experience. It's the good, the bad, and the awkward moments of a new American that every human being can relate to." -- Huffington Post
