SUMMARY:Basically Noir: Scott Kikkawa Reading on the Big Island
DESCRIPTION:Hawaiʻi noir fiction writer Scott Kikkawa is visiting Hilo! Join him at indie bookstore Basically Books on Saturday\, June 21st at 2:00 pm for a reading from his novels Kona Winds\, Red Dirt\, and Char Siu. \nKikkawa’s sharp prose and dry wit come alive in his signature detective narration style. It’s like a voiceover from a classic noir film with clipped lines and hard truths. It’s a vibe you can’t miss.
