"Sharks in the Time of Saviors," by Kawai Strong Washburn

Join us for a special episode recorded in Hawai'i! We'll be discussing one of the best novels of the  decade, learning from its perspective on native Hawaiian culture, and exploring its unique relationship to "The Big Island." 
Did we take this opportunity to record from  white sand beaches over-looking clear-turquoise bays where sea turtles glide and dolphins play? Of course not! Instead we take a tour of some of Hilo's finest dive bars where the windows are shaded and the pu-pus are served on paper plates. Our thinking was-- hey, didn't one of the novel's characters get kicked out of the same bar where a problematic DC-universe actor was recently arrested? Let's go drinking there!
