Eat a Peach (autobiography)

Kirkus Reviews described Chang as "no slouch as a writer, with a style that features a refreshingly defiant attitude and some of the best inessential footnotes since A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius."^[3] Bill Addison of the Los Angeles Times describes the book as "a timely read on several levels" and "blunt, often funny, questioning and critical of himself and the world".^[4]

Eater's review of the book showed much more of the emotional burden of the book, writing: "Primarily, it wants to reframe Chang’s self-righteous anger, to bundle it up with his guilt, regrets, and ruminations, and to sell it back to the public as his pardon."^[5]
