Book excerpt: Honolulu Stories: Two Centuries of Writing was first published in 2008 consisting of short fiction, excerpts from novels, scenes from plays, musicals and operas, poems, chants, song lyrics, cartoons, stand-up comedy, and slam-a feast of words. It is a hefty tome of hundreds of Honolulu voices telling the story of the town over the years, from tiny village to raucous whaling port to capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom to twenty-first century multicultural metropolis.This new abridged edition is a bold rethinking of the original and puts its lens squarely on the modern fiction coming out of Hawai'i today. These stories come together to create a freshly focused portrait of Honolulu in flux, grappling with the waves of change we currently face in the twenty-first century from the affects of war, economic dispossession, environmental degradation, and dislocation, and how we are trying to adapt, evolve, fight, and survive for what was, what is, and what could be.Most notably, Honolulu Stories Today includes fiction from local authors whose works were published since 2008. Interwoven with older stories from the original, readers are given a kaleidoscopic lens to view common themes such as the impact of splintering families; the definition of being Hawaiian; the importance of looking to the past to navigate the future; the dislocation of local life; the questioning of authenticity and who has a legitimate claim to culture. There are stories that look back at small kid time to understand the present; stories that jump to the future; stories that hold a mirror up to the present.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the "dazzling historical saga" (The Washington Post), Moloka'i, comes the irresistible story of a young immigrant bride in a ramshackle town that becomes a great modern city "In Korea in those days, newborn girls were not deemed important enough to be graced with formal names, but were instead given nicknames, which often reflected the parents' feelings on the birth of a daughter: I knew a girl named Anger, and another called Pity. As for me, my parents named me Regret." Honolulu is the rich, unforgettable story of a young "picture bride" who journeys to Hawai'i in 1914 in search of a better life. Instead of the affluent young husband and chance at an education that she has been promised, she is quickly married off to a poor, embittered laborer who takes his frustrations out on his new wife. Renaming herself Jin, she makes her own way in this strange land, finding both opportunity and prejudice. With the help of three of her fellow picture brides, Jin prospers along with her adopted city, now growing from a small territorial capital into the great multicultural city it is today. But paradise has its dark side, whether it's the daily struggle for survival in Honolulu's tenements, or a crime that will become the most infamous in the islands' history... With its passionate knowledge of people and places in Hawai'i far off the tourist track, Honolulu is most of all the spellbinding tale of four women in a new world, united by dreams, disappointment, sacrifices, and friendship.

Book excerpt: R. Kikuo Johnson has created an intimate and compelling graphic novel-length drama of young men on the cusp of adulthood. First-rate prep school, S.U.V., and a dream house in the heights: This was the island paradise handed to Loren Foster when he moved to Hawaii with his father six years ago. Now, with the end of high school just around the corner, his best friend, Shane, has grown distant. The rumors say it's hard drugs, and Loren suspects that Shane has left him behind for a new group of friends. What sets Johnson's drama apart is the naturalistic ease with which he explores the relationships of his characters. It is at once an unsentimental portrait of that most awkward period between adolescence and young adulthood and that rarest of things: a mature depiction of immature lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just a decade after the first printing press arrived in Honolulu in 1820, American Protestant missionaries produced the first newspaper in the islands. More than a thousand daily, weekly, or monthly papers in nine different languages have appeared since then. Today they are often considered a secondary source of information, but in their heyday Hawai‘i’s newspapers formed one of the most diversified, vigorous, and influential presses in the world. In this original and timely work, Helen Geracimos Chapin charts the role Hawai‘i’s newspapers played in shaping major historic events in the islands and how the rise of the newspaper abetted the rise of American influence in Hawai‘i. Shaping History is based on a wide selection of written and oral sources, including extensive interviews with journalists and others working in the newspaper industry. Students of journalism and Hawaiian history will find this comprehensive history of Hawai‘i’s newspapers especially valuable.
