Steven Ray reviewed I Hotel by Karen Tei Yamashita
Tenth Anniversary Edition, with an introduction by Jessica Hagedorn
Really entertaining and informative
5 stars
A 600+ page tour de force of historical fiction. A real education on the lives of immigrants from all over Asia and beyond during the tumultuous period of 1968-1977. Each year features a new cast, but they all revolve around the I Hotel in SF’s Chinatown. Wisened old timers mix with idealistic and determined twenty somethings, on a quest to protect what’s theirs in a land where the cards are stacked against them. Really engaging. An important read.
