The Piano Tuner's Wife
“Follow the piano tuner’s wife as she accompanies the tuner into the homes of some of Hawai‘i’s families. Listen to her interaction with clients: mothers and fathers, aquarium lovers and hoarders, healers and would-be cosmologists. See where imagination can take you, when you encounter the ordinary: an ant condo, a doggie treasure trove. Think about going through the eye of a camel. Dream about being a writer.”

Beckett's Game
Rather than use theory to understand fiction, Beckett's Game uses fiction to understand criticism. Engaging and relaxed, it is an important contribution to Beckett studies, to the understanding of the postmodern novel and to theoretical research into the question of the self in language and literature. Professor Toyama presents a careful analysis of the trilogy in the light of recent critical theory, especially Derrida and Deleuze, in what may be called a «poststructuralist» analysis of the novels. Through her analysis she sheds light on the issues and the problems now at the center of critical controversy.

What We Must Remember
Poetry. Fiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. WHAT WE MUST REMEMBER features 28 linked poems, followed by insightful commentary on each poem by its author. With an introduction and timeline of events by Massie scholar John P. Rosa, this special issue revisits the 1932 kidnapping and murder of Native Hawaiian prize fighter Joseph Kahahawai and the events surrounding it, commonly known as "The Massie Case." Referred to as "one of the greatest criminal cases of modern times" by the Chicago Tribune, the incident was reflective of the racial tensions in plantation-era Hawai'i and, according to scholar David Stannard in his book Honor Killing, "provided the seedbed for subsequent [social] change" in the local community. In this new book, each poet investigates, interrogates, and brings to light the racial, ethical, and moral complexities of one of Hawai'i's most controversial criminal cases, the linked verses interwoven with factual detail to create a mosaic of emotional depth that explores the implications of the historical events that took place and that continue to reverberate today.
