Interior Chinatown is humorous. It is dark and sad sometimes, but it is also hopeful. It is definitely my new favorite and it truly deserves a 5/5 star rating!

Frances Cha gives the women, who rotate as point-of-view characters, distinct voices. Switching seamlessly between voices, Cha makes all of them real and engrossing.

[Barry] can do incredible things with the lyricism of words and he gives Winona a memorable voice that is both lithe and haunting.

The writing is taut and bright and the comedy incisive. From the uneasy popularity of skin-whitening treatments to the pressures that society heaps upon mothers, Nanda takes aim at racism, privilege and unrealistic beauty standards.
