Description
A multi-voiced fusion of prose, playwriting, graphic art, and philosophy that spins an epic tale of Americaâs struggle for civil rights as it played out in San Franciscoâs Chinatown. Divided into ten novellas, one for each year, I Hotel begins in 1968, when Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, students took to the streets, the Vietnam War raged, and cities burned.As Karen Yamashitaâs motley cast of students, laborers, artists, revolutionaries, and provocateurs make their way through the history of the day, they become caught in a riptide of politics and passion, clashing ideologies and personal turmoil. And by the time the survivors unite to save the International Hotelâepicenter of the Yellow Power Movementâtheir stories have come to define the very heart of the American experience.
