Description

Cal, a haole, is mute. He tattoos inmates of Halawa Prison and listens to their life stories. His new cellmate, a Japanese-Hawaiian raised by a bitter father, recounts a searing indictment of life in the underworld of this tropical paradise. A story of raw power, set in an intriguing locale, that shows the dark side of Hawaii. Optioned for a film by Mario Von Peebles.

Author Biography:

Chris McKinney is the author of The Tattoo and Bolohead Row. He is of Korean, Japanese, and Scottish descent. Born in Honolulu and raised in Kahaluu, he portrays the native Hawaiian experience from the inside, where children of mixed ethnicity grow up far from the clear water and pristine beaches of the rich visitors' resorts. He received both his BA and MA in English from the University of Hawaii and currently teaches at Honolulu Community College.
