Winner of the Hawaiʻi Book Publishers Association Ka Palapala Poʻokela Award of Excellence in Literature, FOLKS YOU MEET IN LONGS is simply magical. Through voice, Lee Cataluna conjures 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, novelist
From HONOLULU Magazine's 50 Essential Hawai‘i Books You Should Read in Your Lifetime:
