"Fluid and poetic as well as terrifying." New York Times Book
Review "Dazzling . . . a seamless mixture of magic realism, satire
and futuristic fiction." San Francisco Chronicle "Impressive . . .
a flight of fancy through a dreamlike Brazil." Village Voice
"Surreal and misty, sweeping from one high-voltage scene to
another." LA Weekly "Amuses and frightens at the same time."
Newsday "Incisive and funny, this book yanks our chains and makes
us see the absurdity that rules our world." Booklist (starred
review) "Expansive and ambitious . . . incredible and complicated."
Library Journal "This satiric morality play about the destruction
of the Amazon rain forest unfolds with a diversity and fecundity
equal to its setting. . . . Yamashita seems to have thrown into the
pot everything she knows and most that she can imagine all to good
effect." Publishers Weekly A Japanese man with a ball floating six
inches in front of his head, an American CEO with three arms, and a
Brazilian peasant who discovers the art of healing by tickling
one's earlobe, rise to the heights of wealth and fame, before
arriving at disasters both personal and ecological that destroy the
rain forest and all the birds of Brazil. Karen Tei Yamashita is the
author of Through the Arc of the Rain Forest, Brazil-Maru, Tropic
of Orange, Circle K Cycles, I Hotel, and Anime Wong, all published
by Coffee House Press. I Hotel was selected as a finalist for the
National Book Award and awarded the California Book Award, the
American Book Award, the Asian/Pacific American Librarians
Association Award, and the Association for Asian American Studies
Book Award.
