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 - from an author who has received the California Book Award and the Association for Asian American Studies Book Award, among other literary honors.

Excellent reading of one of the best books every written about LA

The narrator did a good job with the very different voices in this book. This is a complex but well loved book. First time readers/listeners may need to go more slowly or repeat sections as the fantastic, magical imagination of Yamashita, heavily informed by the history of the Americas, may be a lot to absorb by ear. Including the preface and epigraphs was helpful.
