Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-11 00:00:00 Toni Caceres Damn kolohe kids. This hilarious, seductive, story of rainy Hilo town, sexy local braddahs, hunting with Daddy, and what it means to be one of the boiz will enchant anyone who has felt Hilo rain. This book had me gasping and cry laughing all the through.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-03-03 00:00:00 Nathan Kroll I was still at the Writer's Workshop when I first heard Lois Ann Yamanaka read selections from her book, Saturday Night at the Pahala Theatre. A friend played it for me. She had a cassette of Yamanaka reading her poems. That was over a decade ago. I don't know why it has taken me so long to read one of her novels. For the time, she was one of the few Asian American poets/writers who presented a more gritty and more human voice. Her characters spoke freely of sex, loss, and drugs. I thoroughly enjoyed Heads by Harry. The earthy somewhat sardonic(?) tone of the narrator moved the story along well. The dialogue is also particularly effective. Everything fit in place. Details about the past, the present, and the future were well utilized to help further develop the character of the narrator.
