Short-Timers in Paradise By John Wythe White Short-Timers in Paradise is "local" in the best sense -- an observant insiders's book about the fluidity of life in Hawaii, as well as a vivid gallery of its accidental inhabitants, from John Young the 19th Century castaway (who became a royal confidant), to surfers and scammers who arrived just the other day. What impresses me most about John Wythe White's book -- which comprises fiction, drama and essays -- is its understanding of the waterworld of Hawaii, and especially the art and science of surfing. Like surfing, the sport of walking on water, this book too embodies the mystery and the glory of the islands." -- Paul Theroux ISBN 0-9653971-9-X $14.95

"Through all its meanderings, "Short-Timers in Paradise" speaks, mostly eloquently, about what it means to live in Hawaii, and sometimes, simply about what it means to live." -- Joleen Oshiro, Honolulu Star-Bulletin 8/18/00 |
REVIEW EXCERPT:|
"...in the broader sense, White seems to be hinting that we are all, in some sense, short-timers, destined to leave the planet in too short a time. And especially for those of us who live in a place that many consider to be paradise, could any life be long enough to learn all we need to know?" -- Ann M. Sato, Honolulu Advertiser 8/27/00 |
