Frank Chin debates Yunte Huang on the topic of Charlie Chan


Thanks, N and C for sending this: Sleuthing Out Charlie Chan. Click on “Listen To This Show” on the top of the page (or click here), and you’ll be able to hear Frank Chin debate Yunte Huang about Huang’s new book on Charlie Chan.  The show is part of NPR.

This interview took place just last Friday.  I first learned about Huang’s new book from a NY Times article which also mentioned Frank Chin.  I don’t have much of an opinion on Charlie Chan the character since I’ve never seen the show, but I agree that it’s an important part of history and a provocative subject of debate, and for that reason, it’s good that Huang wrote this book.
