Trade Review
"In the follow-up to his Edgar Award-winning Charlie Chan biography, Huang uncovers ironies, paradoxes and examples of how Chang and Eng subverted what Leslie Fiedler called ‘the tyranny of the normal." -- Jane Ciabattari, BBC
"It is a fascinating story..." -- Literary Review
"Yunte Huang’s book Inseparable tells [a] remarkable story." -- The Times
"After retiring in a small North Carolina town, they owned as many as 32 slaves and, between them, fathered at least 21 children. If that doesn't intrigue you—wait, how can that not intrigue you?" -- The 50 Best Books of 2018 - Newsweek
"Yunte Huang is well placed to retell this extraordinary story of transnational celebrity and assimilation. Huang grew up in China... his Asian American focus is fresh and welcome." -- Times Literary Supplement
