Descriere
Chin's follow-up to Donald Duk relates a freewheeling saga that pivots on two generations of the Kwan family: Longman, the Chinaman who dies in countless Hollywood epics, and his son, Ulysses, who despises his father's dream of someday playing Charlie Chan. "A vital, always interesting read".--Publishers Weekly.
