A multi-voiced and situated portrayal of local Hawai'i today,
This review is from: The Watcher of Waipuna and Other Stories (Bamboo Ridge) (Paperback)
Gary Pak is an awesome writer, who captures a range of political and cultural positions in Hawa'i with care and tact: he offers, in this collection as in his recent novel with U of Hawai'i Press, a multi-voiced and situated portrayal of local Hawai'i today in all its complexity and struggle. Highly recommended for ordinary readers, college and high school courses, but maybe not for tourists looking for exotica on the beach.

Awesome Read,
By Q (Portland, ME United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Watcher of Waipuna and Other Stories (Bamboo Ridge) (Paperback)
I agree completely with the reviewer below. This is a thoroughly enjoyable collection, gripping at times, the social and political issues never forced or didactic (and certainly never manichean), but integrated critically and astutely into the fabric of the stories themselves. Some of the stories share an affinity with the magic realists, but ultimately, Gary Pak's stories offer a fresh voice and perspective, and a much necessary one. Definitely excited to read his new collection.
