I Hotel (novel)
- ... that novelist Karen Tei Yamashita realized the structure of her novel, I Hotel, by cutting, folding, and writing on ten cardboard cubes, each representing a year in the book?
- Source: ... so instead she went home and cut out 10 pieces of cardboard, which she scored and folded into cubes: one for each year leading up to the hotel’s destruction. Each cube was inscribed with precise indicators, one per side—a year paired with a world-historical event, a location in the Bay Area paired with a location abroad, a theme, and three characters, composites from her interviews and her imagination.

Hi @Phibeatrice: This article, created on 29 October, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, neutral, and presentable. Earwig picked up no copyvio and I didn't see any close paraphrase. QPQ does not need to be done. The hook, which I trimmed a little bit going in, is interesting and cited. The hook might need a little more editing (the phrase "cutting, folding, and writing on ten cardboard cubes" is a little unwieldy, but I'm not sure how to improve it) but, as it is, I think the article is good to go.
