DESCRIPTION:Dazzling and ambitious\, this hip\, multi-voiced fusion of pros
 e\, playwriting\, graphic art\, and philosophy spins an epic tale of Ameri
 ca's struggle for civil rights as it played out in San Francisco's Chinato
 wn.\n\nDivided into ten novellas\, one for each year\, <em>I HOTEL</em>beg
 ins 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 Yamashita's motley cast of students\, laborers\, artists\, revo
 lutionaries\, and provocateurs make their way through the history of the d
 ay\, they become caught in a riptide of politics and passion\, clashing id
 eologies and personal turmoil. And by the time the survivors unite to save
  the International Hotel--epicenter of the Yellow Power Movement--their st
 ories have come to define the very heart of the American experience.\n\nTh
 ere will be a book signing after the program. Reservations recommended to 
 rsvp@janm.org or 213.625.0414 at least 48 hours prior.\n\n<a href="http://
