Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant by Curtis Chin 
In the 1980s, the Detroit neighborhood where Curtis Chin grew up was a bustling Chinatown and gayborhood that helped Chin understand both the world around him and himself. Everyone knew they were welcome at Chung’s, the popular restaurant owned and operated by his family. This “vivid, moving, funny, and heartfelt” memoir was named a 2024 Michigan notable book and a 2025-2026 Great Michigan Read selection.
