"A surprisingly sophisticated memoir about race and assimilation in America--as much James Baldwin and Jay-Z as Amy Tan. Rowdy and vital...it's a book about fitting in by not fitting in at all." - Dwight Garner, New York Times "A Taiwanese-American hip-hop version of Journey to the End of the Night...a profane concatenation of Mandarin and African-American vernacular English, spiced with allusions to Jonathan Swift, Charles Barkley and Cam'ron." - New York Times "Huang is a fearless raconteur. . . . Fresh Off The Boat [is] a coming-of-age tale of identity and assimilation told in a flambéed and unorthodox vernacular all his own. Huang's writing is at once hilarious and provocative; his incisive wit pulls through like a perfect plate of dan dan noodles."--Interview "Uproariously funny and emotionally honest"--Chicago Tribune*
