Mutual Publishing has just published one of the heftiest books of the year: the four-pound Honolulu Stories. Coedited by Gavan Daws and Bennett Hymer, the collection received wide media coverage and is soon to be a classic. Honolulu Magazine said:
An anthology to end all anthologies, Honolulu Stories celebrates, examines and challenges all things related to our city, as seen through 200 years’ worth of writing—and a thousand pages. It’s got everything from Mark Twain to Rap Reiplinger, plus two pieces of fiction from our predecessor, Paradise of the Pacific: 1954’s “The Irresistible Henrique,” and 1946’s “The Forgotten Flea Powder.”
Pictures and a video clip of the launch party held at Coffee Talk can be found at the blog for the book.
