Tropic of Orange by Karen Tei Yamashita

4.0

Really uniquely idiosyncratic mix of that sort of “interconnected” tendency that inhabits a lot of late 20th century narrative storytelling with magic realism. I’m really most interested by the sort of “perceived” vs “real” relationship it has with LA and its inhabitants. Did to this, I feel it makes a good pairing with Thom Andersen’s documentary Los Angeles Plays Itself.
