Lisa Linn Kanae (Islands Linked by Oceans)

Panel: 
Recent Hawai'i Fiction from __Bamboo Ridge Press__ I
Abstract: 

Kanae challenges contemporary views on what it means to be Hawaiian. From "Born Again Hawaiian" to "Sassy" girls at a local wedding shower, her narratives feel like talking story till "the words swim through the listener's veins and turn into blood." Other work: Sista Tongue and Ola's Son (a play).
