My friend since childhood Ð and my writing colleague Ð has written a narrative gem of a chapbook. Not a word is wasted.\u003cbr\u003e\n  Wayson Choy, author\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a totally engaging memoir, filled with childhood memories of life in a Chinese Canadian family whose father came to Vancouver in 1911. But it is more than a personal memoir; it is also a social and cultural history of VancouverÕs Chinatown and its denizens in their homes, shops, restaurants, hotels, schoolrooms and social clubs, told Òup close and personal,Ó by a master storyteller. Larry Wong tickles your funny bone and moves you to tears as he skilfully integrates colourful anecdotes with historical facts in such a way that the reader is at once entertained and educated.
