Author and TV writer Charles Yu won the National Book Award for Fiction on Wednesday night for his novel "Interior Chinatown," a satire about typecasting and racism in Hollywood. The novel, published in January by Pantheon Books, follows an Asian film actor stuck in the background roles of "Generic Asian Man" or "Delivery Guy" with very few lines, while yearning to one day become the "Kung Fu Guy."
