"Fiercely satirical. . . . Yamashita presents [an] intricate plot
with mordant wit." —New York Times Book Review "A stunner. . . . An
exquisite mystery novel. But this is a novel of dystopia and
apocalypse; the mystery concerns the tragic flaws of human nature."
—Library Journal (starred review) "Brilliant. . . . An ingenious
interpretation of social woes." —Booklist (starred review)
"Yamashita handles her eccentrics and the setting of their
adventures with panache. David Foster Wallace meets Gabriel Garcia
Marquez." —Publishers Weekly Irreverently juggling magical realism,
film noir, hip hop, and chicanismo, Tropic of Orange takes place in
a Los Angeles where the homeless, gangsters, infant organ
entrepreneurs, and Hollywood collide on a stretch of the Harbor
Freeway. Hemmed in by wildfires, it's a symphony conducted from an
overpass, grandiose, comic, and as diverse as the city itself.
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.
