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 (pig) on the haunted Pali highway portends one young woman's fraught relationship with her 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. 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 threatening to erupt with violent secrets"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hawaiian women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Racially mixed women $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Hawaii $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20240423011157.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20240313010342.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0B4644CAAD011EE853AF3262BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
