I popped into the Ballard Bartell Drugs the other day in search of some cold medicine. Shelves throughout the store were mostly empty, even in the pharmacy section. It’s been like this for years. It seemed only a matter of time that the iconic 135-year-old Seattle retailer would cease to exist.

When Kevin Kwan made his literary debut with Crazy Rich Asians in 2013, he introduced readers to the world of — as the title implies — crazy rich Asians.
