Notes
Description
"From Rona Jaffe Foundation scholar Megan Kakimoto, a blazing, bodily, raucous journey through contemporary Hawaiian identity and womanhood, introducing a major new storytelling talent. Megan Kakimoto's wrenching and sensational debut story collection follows a cast of mixed native Hawaiian and Japanese women through a contemporary landscape thick with inherited wisdom and the ghosts of colonization. This is a Hawai'i where unruly sexuality and generational memory overflow the postcard image of paradise and the boundaries of the real, where the superstitions born of the islands take on the weight of truth. A childhood encounter with a wild pua'a (boar) on the haunted Pali highway portends one young woman's increasingly frightening pregnant body. An elderly widow begins seeing her deceased lover in a giant flower. A kanaka writer, mid-manuscript, feels her raw pages quaking and knocking in the briefcase. For readers of Kawai Strong Washburn's Sharks in the Time of Saviors and Jocelyn Nicole Johnson's My Monticello, Every Drop Is a Man's Nightmare is both a fierce love letter to Hawaiian identity and mythology, and a searing dispatch from an occupied territory simmering with tension"--,Provided by publisher.
