About this title

Synopsis

Fiction. Cross-Cultural Writing. Set in Hawaii. 'FOLKS YOU MEET IN LONGS is simply magical. Through voice, Lee Ctaluna conjures up your neighbor, your co-worker, your raucous classmates, the old ladies you see in Chinatown, the uncles sitting in the garage, and you. Their images appear before you as you listen to Cataluna's dead-on capturing of sound with an incredible sensibility, artistry, and poignancy" - Lois-Ann Yamanaka.
