Great Short Stories and the bonus is their set in Hawaii,
By
This review is from: Ullambana (Paperback)
The author makes great use of his local color to draw out all the little stories that might have gone untold. I guess I know why this author taught creative writing at University of Hawaii. I feel his stories are some what like life in Hawaii which is generally laid back.
