Synopsis Night Fisher by : R. Kikuo Johnson
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.

Synopsis All I Asking for Is My Body by : Milton Murayama
From the Afterword by Franklin S. Odo: The most important feature of Milton Murayama's brilliant All I Asking for Is My Body is the quality of the storytelling. It deserves thorough discussion and criticism among literary professionals and students. The work has a further genius, however, in its evocation of several major topics in modern Hawaiian history, specifically during the 1930s, the decade before United States involvement in World War II. I suggest that Murayama’s novel provides us with valuable insights into the worlds of language, sugar plantation history, and the second-generation Japanese Americans, the nisei. . . . Critic Rob Wilson noted: “Part of the accomplishment of the novel is that the language ranges from the vernacular to the literate and standard, and so reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of Hawaii.” In the novel, Murayama uses standard English and pidgin. In real life, the narrator Kiyo explains, “we spoke four languages: good English in school, pidgin English among ourselves, good or pidgin Japanese to our parents and the other old folks.” The wonder is that Murayama emerged using any one of the languages well. For most, that experience proved to be an insuperable barrier to good creative writing. . . . All I Asking for Is My Body is the most compelling work done on the Hawaii nisei experience. Murayama understood his theme to be “the Japanese family system vs. individualism, the plantation system vs. individualism. And so the environments of the family and the plantation are inseparable from the theme.” Fortunately for us as readers, however, he understood that the story was the key ingredient; that anything less would simply add to the sociological study of the plantation and the Japanese family in Hawaii.

Synopsis Tengu Child by : Kikuo Itaya
Western writers and a Buddhist writer like Kikuo Itaya may seem to employ similar techniques, yet as John Gardner points out in his Introduction to these fifteen stories, the symbolism used by the Eastern and Western writer "is no more the same than wings are to, respectively, a butterfly and a bird. The two are products of distinct evolutionary lines." If we are not Buddhists, Gardner asks, why read the stories of Kikuo Itaya? The simplest answer is that they are beautiful. And while they "violate many of our normal expectations . . ., these fictional meditations can prove as persuasive and liberating as the idealism of childhood." The artist remains impeccably honest with his readers, yet leads them--as Aristotle would never allow--down inexplicable twists and turns in which conflict turns out to be harmony and "characters and actions we felt safe in judging as 'bad or good' emerge in a surprising new light." These meditational stories also create suspense. Where will the plot lead us? But the "more important kind of suspense in Itaya's stories has to do with understanding. One soon learns that in every story secret forces are moving, and that the visible surfaces of those forces may be misleading."
