Rodney Morales is an American fiction writer and an Associate Professor in the Department of English at the University of Hawaii. In his writing, he is concerned with contemporary multi-ethnic Hawaiian society, particularly the social relations between Hawaiians of native, Japanese, and Puerto Rican descent; the 1970s Hawaiian independence movement and the disappearance of its leader, George Helm; and the postmodern juxtaposition of popular artistic forms (the detective novel, cinema) and high literature. Morales wrote his only novel, ''When the Shark Bites,'' over a six-year period. He says, "I don't think you can be a good teacher, writing all the time." The novel is a modern-day detective story in which a doctoral student, Alika, investigates the mysterious disappearance of native Hawaiian activist Keoni in the late 1970s. ==Selected works== *''Ho'i Ho'i Hou: A Tribute to George Helm and Kimo Mitchell'' (edited volume, 1984, Lawrence Brown Award) *''The Speed of Darkness'' (short stories, 1988) *''When the Shark Bites'' (novel, 2002) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rodney Morales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
