Rezensionen
The contemporary Hawaii of Kakimoto's debut is neither idyllic backdrop nor tragic fable; the stories evoke the land and its intermixing cultures in all their anxiety, claustrophobia and restlessness . . . Weaving Hawaiian words into English ones, Kakimoto positions language as a tether to our most ancient and eternal selves . . . Every Drop Is a Man's Nightmare is rich and wise, humming with confidence in the knowledge of a particular community's lovely, miserable ways.
