How I Became a Black Man and Other Metamorphoses

A collection of short stories by Irwin Tang. These eight hilarious, surreal, and reverential stories represent eight transformations in the tortuous evolution of the author from nerdy Asian geek into Black Man into unidentifiable object into himself. This is the fiction debut of an author known as an Asian American maverick and a controversial media figure. Tang recently battled Shaquille O'Neal in a public squabble over racial etiquette.
