Willis Wu has spent decades working as a background extra in countless police procedurals and medical dramas, constantly playing dead, getting shot, and delivering food. But Willis has ambitions beyond being a human prop. He dreams of a starring role, of a life where he's more than just a walking stereotype. As he navigates the complexities of the entertainment industry, Willis reflects on his identity as a Chinese American, the expectations placed on him, and the sacrifices he's made for his dreams. Along the way, he encounters a cast of memorable characters, including Apo, a famous actor who befriends Willis, and Ellen, a struggling screenwriter who challenges his worldviews. With its unique structure and blend of humor, drama, and social commentary, this novel explores the intersections of race, representation, and the pursuit of authenticity in the entertainment industry. Willis's journey is both poignant and darkly comedic, ultimately questioning what it means to be seen and what it means to truly belong.
