One KO for every story."—Elizabeth McCracken</b> <b>"<i>Every Drop Is a Man's Nightmare</i> is a frontrunner for Book of the Year." —<i>Debutiful</i></b> <b>From major new storytelling talent Megan</b> <b>Kamalei</b> <b>Kakimoto</b><b>, a blazing, bodily, raucous journey through contemporary Hawaiian identity and womanhood.</b> Megan Kamalei 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 (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. <i>Every Drop Is a Man's Nightmare</i> 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.
