Every Drop Is a Man's Nightmare

A debut collection of stories that weaves Hawaiian mythology with a vivid fabulism and rich sense of place. Both a fierce love letter to mixed native Hawaiian and Japanese women and a searing dispatch from an occupied territory simmering with tension, Every Drop is a Man's Nightmare takes seriously the superstitions born of the islands. Kakimoto's characters seek pleasure and purpose even in absurd circumstances, often with a surprising sense of humour.
