Unfamiliar Fishes

Unfamiliar Fishes

by Sarah Vowell

  • CULTURAL PORTRAIT
  • 2012
  • PAPER
  • 256 PAGES
  • NEW

NPR star Vowell turns her acerbic gaze toward Hawaii's fraught history in this swift book, moving from the arrival of missionaries in 1820 to the forced annexation of Hawaii in 1898. Despite the 19th-century setting, there is no shortage of witty references to contemporary pop culture.  (HWI248, $16.00)
